Instant Pot Chicken Curry

Instant Pot Chicken Curry

This fast instant pot chicken curry is the perfect meal for a busy weeknight. Have dinner on the table in less than 35 minutes. This easy chicken curry is delicious and has just the right amount of kick to it.

I highly recommend using bone-in chicken for this recipe. I cooked this chicken curry for 20 minutes in my instant pot and the chicken was falling off the bone. This is a very simple recipe but it is out of this world. I used garam masala because it includes a bunch of different spices that some people may not have on hand.

Fresh ingredients and an instant pot are all you need.

I used Kashmiri chili powder to give it a deep red color.

Add water, close the lid, and cook for 20 minutes.

Enjoy this with basmati rice, garlic naan, or as is.
