Start by using the saute function to cook the onions, garlic and ginger in olive oil until softened. Then add the spices and cook for another minute to release their flavors. Add the chicken, tomato puree, yogurt and any additional ingredients, then close the lid and set the Instant Pot to manual pressure cook on high for about 10 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before performing a quick release. Finally, stir in the cream and cornstarch mixture, and use the saute function again to thicken the sauce before serving.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make a vegetarian version of chicken tikka masala?<\/h3>\n<p>You can try cooking chicken tikka masala using only chickpeas for protein. Replace the chicken with two 15-ounce cans of drained and rinsed chickpeas. Follow the same steps as the original recipe, adding the chickpeas directly into the sauce in the slow cooker. Since chickpeas are already cooked, you can reduce the cooking time to about two hours on low, just enough for the flavors to meld together. The chickpeas will absorb the spices and sauce, making for a hearty and flavorful vegetarian dish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Indian-style chicken tikka masala recipe

I let that cook for a few minutes, then added the garlic and cooked for another 30 seconds.  Finally, I tossed in the ginger and removed from heat. Meanwhile, I had the tomato sauce and yogurt warming in a dutch oven on the stove.  I added the veggie\/spice mix and then blended it all with a hand blender till smooth. I let the sauce come to a simmer before adding the chicken.  I simmered for about 2 hours, covered on low.  I served this with naan and rice.  The flavors were amazing and the chicken came out tender.  Next time, I think I might try coconut milk in place of the cream.  Thanks for a great recipe.
