In just 30 minutes, scrumptious chicken korma will be ready in the Instant Pot…
This is one of my favourites chicken dishes, the coconut milk added makes this dish rich and creamy. In the Instant Pot, marinated chicken along with the sautéed onions are pressure cooked for 5 minutes. Quick pressure release was done, chicken will be cooked perfectly. In Saute mode, coconut milk is added to the cooked chicken and cooked till the gravy thickened.
It’s flavourful, rich, creamy and absolutely scrumptious. Can be served with Idiyappam, Appam, Puttu, Chapati, Naan, Bamati Rice etc.
