Ingredients
 

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless and skinless chicken thighs

Black Pepper Sauce:

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 onion roughly chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 1 green chili
  • 1 tablespoon kasoori methi
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garam masala

 

  • 2 tablespoons cashew flour optional

Instructions
 

  • Blend the ingredients listed under “black pepper sauce” and pour this over the chicken thighs. Mix well.
  • Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and cook for 5 minutes at high pressure. 
  • Naturally release pressure or wait 10 minutes then release pressure.
  • You can either shred the chicken right in the pot or use kitchen shears/scissors to cut the chicken into cubes.

Notes

  • *Adding cashew flour will make the sauce a bit nuttier, creamier and thicker.
