Ingredients
  

Instant Pot Indian Butter Chicken

  • 12 oz boneless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup white onions (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)

Roasted Cauliflower

  • 3 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Turn on the Instant Pot to saute mode and add the olive oil. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger and saute for 2-3 minutes until the onions soften. Next add the chicken and brown it on all sides for another 2-3minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste and brown it for a minute, then add the tomato paste, water, and seasonings and stir to combine. Close the Instant Pot lid and turn the valve to sealing. Meanwhile, place the cauliflower on a sheet pan and sprinkle with the seasonings and coat with olive oil. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
  • After the Instant Pot cooking time has finished, carefully use the quick release to release the pressure. Turn the Instant Pot to saute mode again and pour in the heavy cream and cilantro. Stir to combine and let the liquid simmer until the sauce has thickened to your desired thickness (about 5 minutes).
  • Enjoy with the roasted cauliflower or your choice of side such as steamed rice or naan bread.
