Family Recipe
This chicken curry is a family recipe that I grew up eating many Sundays. Our family mostly ate vegetarian meals while Sundays were special for non-vegetarian meals. I might fall short of words trying to describe my mom’s chicken curry. This is not your usual restaurant curry. It is a perfectly spiced curry with earthy flavors from spices, a comfort food, and a treasured recipe packed with mom’s love! Enter your email & I’ll send it to your inbox.

Although boneless cuts of chicken can be used in this recipe, the bone-in chicken adds so much flavor with an authentic taste. If you enjoy chicken you have to try my recipes for Chicken Biryani, Chicken Korma, Thai Massaman Curry, and Doro Wat (Ethiopian chicken stew). They use an easy modern cooking method to achieve the authetic taste in much less time compared to the traditional stovetop methods. More Chicken Curry Recipes to try:
Part 1: Pressure-cook chicken in the green spice paste
In a small blender jar or food processor, make a fine paste of ginger, garlic, cilantro, and mint by adding 2 tablespoons of water. Keep aside. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat the oil. Add asafetida and turmeric. Carefully add the ginger-garlic-cilantro-mint paste to the oil. Be careful as the oil can splutter out. Sauté for a minute. Add chicken, onions, and salt. Mix well, coating the chicken with the spices (photos 1 and 2). Add 1 cup of water and mix well. Close the Instant Pot with pressure valve to sealing. Set to Manual (Hi) for 8 minutes. Open the Instant Pot after 10 minutes of Natural Pressure Release (photos 3 and 4).
