Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala

This Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala is so easy to make from scratch with simple everyday ingredients. Packed with flavor, this chicken tikka masala comes together so quickly with a pressure cooker. This recipe features tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken coated with a creamy tikka masala curry.

Rich, creamy, and aromatic, my whole family loves when I make this chicken tikka masala. It is such a delicious chicken recipe as the spices make it so flavorful. And thanks to the pressure cooker, this becomes an easy weeknight recipe.

We’re Indian, and my mom buys garlic and ginger in bulk, peels it all and blends it with some chilies, and then freezes it. A lot of Indians/Pakistanis use garlic ginger paste in their foods, we turn it into a slightly chunky paste. My mom takes out enough for the week in a container and we leave it in the fridge. This may help you for future recipes. 🥰

My ancestors came from India over 150 years ago to the Caribbean region. We wash our fish and meats with lemon or vinegar to get rid of the gamey/fresh odor. I know some people say it's to kill bacteria, but I think it's really to get rid of the grime from handling at the supermarket or wherever it was processed and to give it a fresher smell. I've lived in the US for the past 30 years and still wash my fish and meats., but I don't go crazy trimming off every little piece of fat.

I would recommend using a red onion instead of a yellow or white onion as the red one almost melts into the sauce a lot more. In addition, if you want your sauce to be colored red, I would recommend using Kashmiri red chilli powder along with cayanne/chilli powder. Kashmiri red chilli powder gives you extra color but has minimal to no spice/heat. Garam masala and a bit of kasuri methi at the end makes it even more scrumptious.

My family tasted the recipe before the coconut milk worked it way down. Let’s just say they did not want to wait! This was the first time in my 60 years I cooked Indian food, and I am a terrible cook😂, but it tasted like we were dining in a Indian restaurant! Plus, it was sooo easy, thank you so much. Please more delicious, yet simple insta pot meals. Have a terrific week.

Made this tonight. Not bad. I added a little heat with ground Hatch chile (red), and used a touch more Greek yogurt. Deep flavors, smoky, complex. And enough for the household, with leftovers for tomorrow!

I love Indian food, and this looks delicious. Could you please make an Instant Pot vindaloo video for those of us who like it really spicy? Thanks!

Tried this recipe last night. I forgot to buy fresh ginger and subbed ground ginger instead. I feel like it would have had more flavor had I had the fresh ginger. Still this was a really quick and tasty recipe. Thanks for another new recipe for dinners!

Tried this one today and it was so good!!! Thanks!

[skohari]

Crazy awesome!!! My family actually loves me now after I make this! 😊 thanks thanks thanks (great video/editing too, Aman!)

Looks fabulous Can! Can hardly wait to try this and I just ordered some Garam Masala because mine was super old and needed to be replaced. Also ordered some Indian garlic ginger paste. These spices will add so much flavor coupled with the spices in your recipe. And hopefully I won't forget the Naan bread.

A lot of flavors I see! 😌 looks delicious

The written recipe has Greek yogurt but I didn’t see him use yogurt. Is it yogurt or coconut milk?

I do already have butter chicken and tikka masala recipes for my beloved instant pot but this looks so much easier and faster. My question is when you say chili powder, what do you mean? In Canada, chili powder is a spice blend you put in chili con carne, but I know Indians have all kinds of chilies. What should I look out for in the store?
I always make a big batch of cilantro lime rice and keep it in the freezer for when I make dishes like this, but then I also like extra fresh cilantro on top of the finished dish.

You asked for a comment so many times so I’m just dropping one here. Great vid thanks

[gypsydavy]

I think I got a little carried away with the ginger. Other than than that this came out great. I'm finally cooking Indian! Thanks so much.

Side cut or smooth edge can openers exist. You can try the side method with a normal can opener but it doesn't always work depending on the can design.

[Goalsold]

MMM I'm gonna try this recipe! Thank you!

[donitaarender]

Can you also cook the rice with it together?

[CodeDeb]

I made this tonight. The sauce was very tasty but the chicken was a little rubbery. Any suggestions for modifications to prevent this?

[jadesea]

If its opening the can, its working correctly.
