I tried this and it is better than the off-the-shelf jars of curry sauce. Here is the curry chicken pdf if if you want to print it out.
prep: 20 mins cook: 40 mins total: 1 hr
Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 ½ cups chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper *
Combine the 5 spices above in a bowl.
1 tablespoon water
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Combine the 3 ingredients above in a bowl.
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water *
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Assemble all the ingredients, open the can of tomatoes.
- Put chicken on a plate and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt.
- Heat the oil in an instant pot; partially cook the chicken in the hot oil in batches until completely browned. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a plate and set aside.
- To the hot pot add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook and stir until the onion turns translucent, about 8 minutes.
- Stir the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon of water into the onion mixture; allow to heat together for about 1 minute while stirring.
- Mix the tomatoes, yogurt, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and 1 teaspoon salt together.
- Deglaze the pan by adding in the tomato yogurt mixture a few spoonfuls at a time until all the brown stuff is lifted off from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the rest of the tomato yogurt and 1 cup water into the pot.
- Return the chicken to the hotpot along with any juices on the plate. Turn the chicken to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle the garam masala and 1 tablespoon cilantro over the chicken.
- Put the lid on the hot pot, switch the air release to open and press the stew button. It will take about 20 min to cook.
- Sprinkle with lemon juice to serve.
*I made some changes to the quantity to adjust for my taste and the instant pot.
