Ingredients

  • 1 14- ounce Canned Tomatoes
  • 5-6 cloves Garlic
  • 1-2 teaspoons Minced Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt

  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 1/4-1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. 1

    Place all ingredients into an Instant Pot in the order listed, EXCEPT for the butter, cream and 1 teaspoon of the garam masala, mixing the sauce well before you place the chicken on top of the sauce. If it's frozen, push it into the sauce a bit so it defrosts better

  2. 2

    Use leftover cooked chicken and mix in with the gently heated sauce, let it simmer for a few for the flavors to meld together and there you go. Add some fresh cilantro on top.
