There are a fair amount of ingredients here, as you&#8217;d expect with any curry. So gathering everything might just be the most challenging part of this recipe.<\/p>\n<h2>Instant Pot Chicken Curry Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li><strong><strong>Olive oil or ghee: <\/strong><\/strong>You can use olive oil or ghee interchangeably in this recipe. Note that the ghee will impart more flavor into the finished dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Chicken thighs: <\/strong><\/strong>While cubed boneless skinless chicken thighs are ideal for this recipe, you can use chicken breast if that is what you have on hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Large chopped onion: <\/strong><\/strong>Use a yellow or white onion for this recipe. Yellow is the ideal choice based on its flavor profile.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Curry powder: <\/strong><\/strong>A premade, store-bought curry powder is ideal for this recipe because it will save you time. But you can always make your own curry powder at home by blending together the right spices.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Ground turmeric: <\/strong><\/strong>Turmeric is a tasty and healthy spice that is growing in popularity. It&#8217;s potent, so measure it with care.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Ground cumin: <\/strong><\/strong>Ground cumin is quite common in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/indian-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/indian-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Indian<\/a> cooking and is also quite potent. Measure carefully and don\u2019t overdo it with this robust spice.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Chicken broth: <\/strong><\/strong>Chicken broth is the ideal choice here, but you can use a vegetable broth if needed. A beef broth is not advised because it will throw off the flavor profile.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Canned diced tomatoes: <\/strong><\/strong>Make sure not to drain the liquid off of these diced tomatoes; you want to add it to the pressure cooker as an additional liquid and to add flavor to the dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Tomato paste: <\/strong><\/strong>Tomato paste adds a tart and tangy edge to this chicken curry dish that you would certainly miss were not added. Don\u2019t skip the tomato paste.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Minced garlic cloves: <\/strong><\/strong>Fresh garlic cloves are always ideal for cooking but you can absolutely use store-bought or premade frozen garlic cubes as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Minced fresh ginger root: <\/strong><\/strong>The fresh ginger root is the only ingredient that might send you off to the store. You might just start keeping some around once you\u2019ve tried this dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Cornstarch: <\/strong><\/strong>The cornstarch is a thickener that renders the texture of the finished curry dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Hot cooked rice or naan: <\/strong><\/strong>You will have to plan ahead if you want to serve this dish with rice, or else use a microwaveable rice. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/bread-machine-naan\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/bread-machine-naan\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Naan<\/a> is one of the finest foods on the planet; it\u2019s best to go with that if you have any on hand or can make it yourself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chopped fresh cilantro:\u00a0<\/strong>The chopped fresh cilantro will be added to each serving of the chicken curry. It adds a nice pop of color and also some excellent flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Brown the chicken<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2046241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Instant-pot-chicken-curry_TOHD24_72936_SarahTramonte_1-1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Step 3 of Taste Recipes Instant Pot Chicken Curry is to pressure-cook on high for five minutes then let the pressure release naturally.
