Instant Pot Butter Chicken
  1. On the Instant Pot, hit “Sauté” and “Adjust” so it’s on “Normal” and wait until it reads “Hot”

  2. Place the stick of butter into the pot and let it melt until it becomes foamy/bubbly

  3. Add in onions and garlic and cook until translucency occurs, stirring often – about 5 minutes

  4. Add the chicken broth, can of tomato paste and can of coconut milk, in that order. Mix thoroughly so that the tomato paste and coconut milk is totally blended in

  5. Add the Curry Powder, Ground Cumin, Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, Garam Masala, and salt to taste

  6. Add the chunks of chicken to the pot and cover with sauce. Give it a good final stir

  7. Secure lid. Press “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” High Pressure for 15 minutes

  8. Once finished let sit in pot for 10 minutes with a natural release. Quick release for the remainder of the time. Begin the rice on the stove according to its instructions

  9. Turn pot back on to “Sauté” and “Adjust” to “More” and bring to a bubble

  10. Mix the cornstarch and water together and then add to the pot and stir very well. Let pot boil until sauce is thickened – about 2 minutes

  11. Press “Keep Warm” and let it stay that way for about 10 minutes so the sauce thickens a little and the flavors come together even more! (It does this when it cools a little)

  12. Serve over a bed rice. Garnish with fresh cut cilantro if desired
