Chicken & potato curry made in the Instant Pot…
This can be done in a dump & go style by adding all the ingredients into the stainless steel pot and pressure cooked for 8 minutes followed by quick pressure release.
I prefer to saute the onions and tomatoes for a few minutes before adding the chicken and potato. This is an easy to make curry that can be served with chapati, rice, bhatura, poori, appam etc.
