  • 3 teaspoons curry powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • Cilantro optional

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients to an instant pot, secure the lid, close the pressure valve and cook for 5 minutes at high pressure.
  • Naturally release pressure (or NPR for 10 minutes, then release pressure).
  • Using two forks, shred the chicken right into the curry (or you can remove the chicken and cut it into chunks if you prefer)
  • Garnish with cilantro and serve with basmati rice if desired.

Notes

*You can use chicken breast instead of thighs. Keep the same cooking time and do a full natural release.
You can also add frozen peas and potatoes to the curry if you'd like. I peel a couple of potatoes, leave them whole at the top of the pot and when it's done, I cut the potatoes in the pot and mix them in.
