INSTRUCTIONS
- Select SAUTÉ on the Instant Pot. When the pot is hot, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the minced ginger. Cook, stirring, until it starts to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Select CANCEL. Add the chicken, tomatoes with their juices, cumin, 1 teaspoon of the garam masala, the salt, and the cayenne. Stir to combine.
- Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK and set the pot at HIGH pressure for 5 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pot to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure.
- Stir in the cilantro, lemon juice, remaining 1 teaspoon garam masala, and the julienned ginger and serve.
Notes
NOTES
• That really is 1/2 cup fresh ginger—that is not a typo. Do not use ground ginger in this dish. You want to cut the ginger quite small. I made coins, then I made julienne, then I minced them. You want to do this so you don’t get a huge chunk of ginger in any one bite. #trusturvashi
• You can use 2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes, but if you do that, add 1/4 cup water, just in case your tomatoes aren’t juicy enough.
• Omit the cilantro if you hate it. You can substitute parsley if you’d like.
