Description
Tasty tomato-based Indian curry dish
Ingredients
- Canned diced tomatoes: 28 oz
- Jalapeno peppers: 2, stems removed
- Ginger: 2 tbsp, diced
- Heavy cream: 3/4 cup
- Greek yogurt: 3/4 cup
- Kosher salt: 2 tsp
- Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Chicken thighs: 2.5 lbs (~10 thighs), boneless, skinless, quartered, and salted
- Ground cumin: 2 tsp
- Paprika: 1 tbsp
- Cornstarch: 2 tbsp
- Water: 2 tbsp
- Garam masala: 1 tbsp
- Cumin seeds: roasted in pan, finely ground into 2 tsp
Notes
- Serve with naan or rice
- I'd like to try replacing 25% of the tomato sauce with more heavy cream. I'd also like to try adding in some fresh garlic. It may be reasonable to increase garam masala to 1.5 tbsp
- If you're using store-bought garam masala, make sure it is GF if that matters. The recipe for bomb tikka masala includes a recipe for garam masala if you'd like to make your own
Instructions
- Finely puree tomatoes, jalapenos, and ginger in food processor. Then stir in cream, yogurt, and salt
- Melt butter over medium heat and continue heating until foam subsides, stirring constantly. Add chicken in batches, browning and removing each batch
- Add ground cumin and paprika to the butter and saute for a few seconds
- Add tomato mixture and chicken, along with any juices/butter
- Pressure cook for 8 minutes, then natural release for 7 minutes, then quick release
- Mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl
- Add garam masala, roasted cumin, and cornstarch/water mixture
- Bring to a boil and reduce until desired consistency is achieved
