NOTE The unsweetened coconut cream used in the recipe (not to be confused with the sweetened coconut cream used primarily in cocktails) can be found canned in grocery stores. It
can be replaced with the cream from a can of regular full-fat coconut milk. Put the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours or in the freezer for 5 minutes to separate the
cream from the water, then open the can and scoop off the cream from the top of the coconut water.

Excellant! One of my first recipes i made ! Even better the next day!
So good! Thank you!
Really easy to make and very tasty. I have made this to add to my freezer too. One point is that on step 4 if you’re not using the instant pot to cook the rice it isn’t very clear that you need to add the coconut etc to the chicken not the rice!!!
So good, also one of the first instant pot recipes i tried. Easy to make and my picky eater even loved it.
This was my 2nd instant pot recipe ever and a definite winner! Very balanced flavor, which is always my complaint when I try to cook Indian food.
Being new to instant pot, I found the instructions confusing since I didn’t want to make the rice in the pot with the butter chicken. After reading it over and over, I decided to skip #2 and proceed. That worked! Whew!
When in make it again I will add less salt. (Cutting down to 1 or 1.5tsp)
Oh. Wow.
Just straightforward, delicious. Throw it together and… Did i mention how lovely the house smells?
I’m confused. Do I cook the rice in a pot that I put in the instant pot that has the chicken cooking in?
Unfortunately, the IP stopped high pressure cooking saying “burnt” (and it was burnt) and the rice remained pretty much uncooked in the pot inside the pot.
But other than that, the chicken was simply delicious!
I will add more water next time.
Your instructions are NOT clear.
Hi MamaBearPawsKitchen,
The cooking method is called pot-in-pot, using a steam rack above the butter chicken sauce, place an oven-safe dish that fits in the inner pot on the steam rack. This allows you to cook both the butter chick and rice at once.
Hi Cmueller154,
Thank you for your feedback.
If you could provide us more information to where in the recipe it is unclear; we can help clarify it.
To understand where in the recipe you are experiencing difficulty please provide us more information
Good but lots of tomato taste. I will double the garam masala and spices next time.
Loved it!!!!!!
So easy. I added more coconut cream than the recipe called for and made my rice on the stove.
Yummy yummy yummy
Very good recipe. I’m going to add less chili flakes next time though. It was pretty hot.
Could I use a premixed garam masala spice blend? And how much would I use?
This butter chicken curry has a nice steady heat that builds as you eat it. I really enjoyed making something new with this dish!!
How does a recipe for butter chicken have no actual butter in it??
Nice, thank you very much! I use the silicone trivet with heat-resistant handles and it’s so much better than the metal trivet that came with the instant pot. Got it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/35LvU9n
Please clarify where the chicken mixture is when u cook the rice.
Thank u!
New to instant pot but not to cooking indian food. Also only had butter chicken once years ago so can’t remember what it should be like. ABSOLUTELY LOVELY. I skipped the rice bit but may try next time. Very easy. Would like to know if I could double the recipe quantity? Thank you.
Delightful ! So glad i doubled the recipe for leftovers.
This recipe is poorly written. There is no instructions for actually COOKING the chicken. The rice instructions should be under a separate heading just like the garam masala is.
Love this recipe! Thank you for sharing it
This is the one of best recipe article i have ever seen, very good explanation.
Indian spices are very popular all over world.
What a great recipe, thanks! For anyone who asked for Instant Pot accessories, check out this Amazon store – https://amzn.to/3rzTm7K
Ugh, what a confusing recipe. Sounds like: cook onion, add raw chicken, oh wait let’s talk about cooking the rice and never mind that raw chicken. Wtf. Someone please rewrite this.
