Pressure Cooker Indian-Style Chicken Curry
Pressure Cooker Indian-Style Chicken Curry is rich and aromatic, with tender chicken simmered in a buttery onion, garlic, and ginger base layered with garam masala, coriander, turmeric, and a touch of heat from Indian chili powder. The tomato notes round it out with gentle acidity, creating a balanced, cozy sauce. Serve it for a comforting weeknight dinner or a relaxed weekend meal with rice or naan.
