 Instant Pot Tikka Masala is a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic Indian dish. Here's a recipe:

Ingredients:

 * 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

 * 1 large onion, chopped

 * 3 cloves garlic, minced

 * 1-inch piece ginger, grated

 * 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

 * 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

 * 1 tablespoon garam masala

 * 1 teaspoon ground cumin

 * 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

 * 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

 * 1/2 cup heavy cream or plain Greek yogurt

 * Salt and pepper to taste

 * Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

 * Oil for cooking

Instructions:

 * Sauté the onions: Turn on the Instant Pot to the Sauté setting. Add oil and sauté the onions until softened, about 5 minutes.

   

 * Add spices and cook: Add garlic, ginger, garam masala, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.

   

 * Add tomatoes and sauce: Add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir to combine.

   

 * Add chicken and cook: Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat in the sauce.

   

 * Pressure cook: Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.

 * Quick release: Once the cooking time is complete, perform a quick pressure release by turning the valve to venting.

 * Stir in cream: Remove the lid and stir in the heavy cream or Greek yogurt.

   

 * Thicken (optional): If desired, turn the Instant Pot back to Sauté and cook for a few minutes to thicken the sauce.

 * Serve: Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice, naan, or roti.

Tips:

 * For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in yogurt and spices for a few hours before cooking.

 * You can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired spice level.

 * To make the dish dairy-free, substitute the heavy cream or yogurt with coconut milk or plant-based yogurt.

 * If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can cook this dish on the stovetop using a pressure cooker or by simmering the sauce on low heat for about 30 minutes.
