Instant Pot Butter Chicken

by | Jan 21, 2021 | 0 comments

Instant pot butter chicken is my go-to chicken curry recipe because it is super easy to make and flavorful. Butter chicken happens to be one of my favorite dishes but then…I love all Indian food. What I don’t like about most restaurants when eating out is the added flour. This can be very hard, especially if you live a gluten-free life, and I end up not eating many of the foods. I find that there is no need to add the extra flour in dishes that can do without it. I bet you’ll agree. Those hidden ingredients end up negatively impacting your health.

A side note: you can also easily substitute butter for coconut oil to make this recipe dairy-free.
