INSTANT POT CHICKEN CURRY

Instant Pot Chicken Curry image

This instant winner recipe puts a delicious chicken curry on the table in about 30 minutes-as much time as it would take a (speedy) takeout order to be delivered. Made with chicken thighs, warm spices like coriander and cumin seeds, and zippy fresh garlic and ginger, this dish packs a lot of flavor into just one pot. Before starting, put on a pot of fluffy rice to serve on the side, and the whole dinner will be ready at the same time.

I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. The chicken was cooked through but still juicy, and the sauce was thick and flavorful. Highly recommend!
