Ingredients

|
- Blend all the ingredients except chicken into a fine green paste. In your instant pot or pressure cooker, add the chicken and pour the blended paste over it. Give it a good stir, close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes at high pressure in an instant pot or 3-4 whistles in a pressure cooker.
- You can manually release the pressure after 10 minutes so that the cooker cools down a bit or let it release naturally. Once you open the lid, pour out the curry in a serving bowl and shred the chicken in the curry using two forks.
- Garnish with onion, lemon wedges and a dollop of butter. Serve hot with plain white rice or naan.
Recipe Tip
The cooking time may vary depending on the size of chicken pieces. Bigger pieces can take more time. If you like your chicken chunks to be whole, you can avoid shredding them.
