Ingredients
10 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 29 ounce can tomato sauce
1 medium/large jalapeno
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, peeled and grated (about a 3 inch piece)
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1/3 – 1/2 bunch cilantro, minced
Directions
- Cut the chicken thighs into quarters.
- Cut the jalapeno pepper in half and take out the seeds. Put tomato sauce, jalapeno and ginger in a blender and blend to a fine puree. Set aside.
- Add butter to pressure cooking pot, select Browning. When butter is melted and foam begins to subside, add half of the chicken pieces and sear until they are nicely browned all over (about 2-3 minutes). Remove them with a slotted spoon into a bowl and put aside. Brown the other 1/2 of the chicken, then place in the bowl also.
- Add the ground cumin and paprika to the butter in the pot. Stir and cook for 10 -15 seconds. Add the tomato mixture, salt, cream, yogurt and chicken pieces (with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl) to the pot. Stir together.
- Cook on High for 5 minutes. When timer beeps, turn off and use natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then use the quick pressure release.
- While the butter chicken is cooking, roast the cumin seeds. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat then add the cumin seeds to the pan. Stir the seeds frequently to ensure even roasted. Continue to roast for 2-3 minutes until the seeds are slightly browned and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Set aside.
- Stir the garam masala and roasted cumin into the butter chicken.
- Whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir into the sauce. Select saute and bring to a boil. Turn off pressure cooker and stir in cilantro.
Serve with rice.
