Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in pot.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic and ginger and saute for another minute or until the garlic becomes aromatic. Do not cook too long because you don't want to burn it.

  3. 3

    Add the tomato puree and tomato paste to the pot and stir. Add the garam masala, coriander, cumin, paprika, turmeric and salt to the Instant Pot, stir and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken thighs, water and stir everything together. There should be enough liquid in the pot to cover the chicken, so add more water if needed.

  5. 5

    Use a lid and cook until meat thermometer reads 165.

  6. 6

    Add the whipping cream and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken and reduce a bit. You don't want it to reduce too much.

  7. 7

    Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm over rice and with naan.
