Place all ingredients into an Instant Pot in the order listed, except for the butter, cream and 1 teaspoon of the garam masala, mixing the sauce well before you place the chicken on top of the sauce. <\/p>\n<p>2.  Close the cooker and set for 10 mins on high then let it release pressure naturally for 10 minutes. After that, release all remaining pressure in bursts.   <\/p>\n<p>3.  Open up the pot and remove the chicken carefully and set aside. Pull chicken into small pieces if you wish.<\/p>\n<p>4.  Blend together all the sauce, preferably using an stick blender.  NOTE I removed the sauce into a jug to blend, then put it all back in the pressure cooker bowl.<\/p>\n<p>5.  Add the cut up butter, cream, parsley, and garam masala and stir well.<\/p>\n<p>6.  Cool just a little before adding the butter and the cream. Adding it into the boiling sauce will make your sauce very thin. If that happens, just put it in the fridge for a little and let it thicken up. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon<\/p>\n<p>7.  Add the chicken back in and heat gently through if needed. <\/p>\n<p>8.  Serve over rice, or zucchini noodles<\/p>\n<p>NOTES:  Recipe can be doubled. Double all ingredients.  This will take longer to get the pressure in the machine at heating stage.  The cook time will be the same though.<\/p>\n<p>If you use chicken with bone in, allow 1 extra minute of cooking.<\/p>\n<p>If you use fresh tomatoes, or a can of puree tomatoes, then you may need to add a \u00bc cup of water.  If in doubt about the about the amount of liquid add the \u00bc of water anyway.<\/p>\n<p>It will take around 10 minutes to gain pressure and heat before it starts to cook.<\/p>\n<p>This makes a lot of sauce. This can be kept, or frozen and used for something else.<\/p>\n<p>If you like it less spicy, add less Cayenne Pepper<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BUTTER CHICKEN \u2013 EXPRESS CROCK POT OR INSTANT POT Ingredients 1 x 400 gram Can of Tomatoes 5-6 cloves Garlic 1-2 teaspoons minced ginger 1 teaspoon Turmeric 1\/2 teaspoons Cayenne 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika 1 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Garam Masala 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin 500 grams Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs &#8211; or use breast,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":986,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-express-crock-pot-instant-pot","wpcat-29-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=984"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":989,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/984\/revisions\/989"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debskitchen.co.nz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
