Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 Kg Chicken
  • ½ cup Cooking Oil
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Garlic Knob
  • 4 Garlic pieces
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1.5 tbsp Turmeric powder
  • 2 Cloves
  • 2 Cinnamon
  • ½ tbsp Fennel seeds
  • ½ tbsp Cumin seeds
  • ½ tbsp Coriander seeds
  • 1 Black cardamom
  • 5 - 8 Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Start by heating oil in the pressure cooker or instant pot. Add and blend garam masala, stirring for one minute on medium flame.
  • Now, toss the chicken and sauté it for 1-2 minutes. The pre-fried garam masala will eliminate any chicken smell. Stir for 2 more minutes on medium flame.
  • Add the entire piece of onion to the stew for a savory boost. Next, toss the garlic, ginger, turmeric, and salt. Simmer on low, allowing the chicken to absorb rich flavors. Stir for a minute for a well-infused stew.
  • The final step is to add the water and simmer for 25-28 minutes. In a pressure cooker, it takes a bit longer; with an instant pot, it's quicker.
