Butter Chicken in bowl A delicious, creamy and flavorful Indian inspired Butter Chicken made in an Instant Pot. I typically serve this over rice and pair with naan bread. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes + 25 minutes natural release

Total Time: 50 minutes

Yield: 6-7 people

Ingredients:

1 onion
3 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp ginger
1 cup Greek yogurt
4 cups beef broth
5.5 lb chicken drumsticks
7 oz tomato paste
13.5 oz can coconut milk
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp curry powder
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

Chop onions, garlic and ginger.

Combine seasonings - curry powder, garam masala, chili powder, salt and pepper.

Set your Instant Pot to Sauté Mode. Add olive oil.

Sauté garlic and onions for a few minutes.

Add tomato paste along with your seasonings. Sauté for a few minutes.

Pour broth in and add chicken. Note: Broth needs to cover chicken. Cover instant pot and cook for 10 minutes on high.

Allow to cook and naturally release. This is how your cooked chicken should look like:

Add coconut milk - this is for the creamy taste and mix.

Add greek yogurt and mix. Then its ready to eat!

This delicious but the ingredient list looks incomplete. I don't see "BUTTER" or margarine anywhere, which would obviously needed in butter chicken.

How much butter do I put in? Thanks.

No, butter. It's the Indian name of this dish called Butter chicken. :)

I think she is using olive oil instead of butter.

Here is a version that I posted a few years ago that includes butter. So delicious!
