Indian Chicken Curry
This is the chicken curry of my childhood. It’s the curry that my mom made weekly and while I didn’t appreciate it as much back then, now it reminds me so much of home. You know that scene in the movie Ratatouille when the food critic eats ratatouille, a dish from his childhood (this is the scene if you don’t know what I’m talking about)… Well, THAT is how I feel when I eat this chicken curry. It’s like I’m being transported back to my childhood home, sitting at the kitchen table eating chicken curry while I watch my mom heating up fresh rotis/chapatis on the stove. Just thinking about this chicken curry makes me feel so grateful to my mama. It’s amazing how food can conjure so many emotions… I realize you probably don’t have any emotional attachment to this dish – at least, not yet. But give it a try. This is a simple chicken curry – no cream, no frills. Just a bunch of humble Indian ingredients found in any Indian pantry. And now this chicken curry is even easier to make – thanks to the Instant Pot + my pre-made onion masala! I feel like I went from being super sentimental to sounding like a commercial lol 😂. But I mean, I have to sell you guys on my onion masala because it makes Indian cooking SO easy. This recipe is part of my onion masala series called: Onion Masala LOVE. I’m sharing recipes using this masala all throughout the month of February! 💘 My goal: to show you how easy it is to prepare Indian food on a daily basis. Click on the image below to find out how to make onion masala, how to store it and to find other recipes that call for it! About 5 years ago, I shared a similar stovetop version of this chicken curry on the blog. It’s about time that I shared an Instant Pot version with you. I hope you make this and love it! Serve this Instant Pot Indian chicken curry with chapati/roti – or if you are gluten-free then serve it with my paleo naan. You can also serve it with basmati rice or brown basmati rice!
