Recipe of the Week: INSTANT POT CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

April 19, 2021

PREP TIME: 5 mins
COOK TIME: 25 mins
TOTAL TIME: 30 mins
YIELD: 6 SERVINGS

Craving Indian food or take out for dinner tonight? Try this lightened up version of Chicken Tikka Masala! Add in the vegetables and you have a whole meal – I’ve even added a can of chickpeas for extra fiber.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cubed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 chopped onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger root
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 14 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup full fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Press sauté button and melt the coconut oil, add onion, garlic, ginger and 6 spices (from coriander to cardamom) and sauté until the vegetables are soft and the spices are fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and use an immersion to blend until smooth (or blend in the blender), add the chicken, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir, cook high pressure 15 minutes. (Note: it takes several minutes for the pot to pressurize.)
  • Quick release, add the cauliflower and peas and cook 3 minutes on high pressure. (Note: add more volume by using the whole head of cauliflower, but increase cook time to 5 minutes.)
  • Quick release, stir in coconut milk and serve garnished with cilantro.
