Instructions

Base

  • Place all ingredients into an Instant Pot EXCEPT for the butter, cilantro, heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of the garam masala, mixing the sauce and spices well before you place the chicken on top. If it’s frozen, push it into the sauce a bit so it defrosts better
  • Close the cooker and set for 30 mins on high, and let it release pressure naturally for 10 minutes. After that, release all remaining pressure.

Finishing

  • Open up the pot and remove the chicken carefully and set aside
  • Blend together all the ingredients, preferably using an immersion blender
  • Let the sauce cool for a few minutes to let it thicken
  • Add the cut up butter, cream, cilantro, and leftover garam masala and stir until well mixed.
