Thanks, Erin. I’ve been making this dish for a while now and it’s great.
There’s also a lot versatility with the tomato sauce; I use tomato puree and mix in some additional spices.
Could you please indicate in the instructions that garam masala can be made at home and without the coriander?
Thanks~
This recipe is FIRE! NOT spicy hot but ohhhh soooo great! Let me tell you what NOT to do. I only had chicken breasts and I wanted a quick tasty dinner with no trip to the store. At the risk of being one of those “helpful” folks, I can tell you totally frozen chicken breasts are a bad choice. But I went there. The sauce saved the day! The whole chicken breasts burned on the bottom and were hard as a rock. I cut off the burnt part and cut them up. I served… and after one bite, we all moved the chicken to the side. The sauce and rice were still excellent. I tossed the chicken and saved the sauce. Tonight, I roasted cauliflower and put an entire head (cut into florets,) into the leftover sauce. Since I added the yogurt to only the sauce I served the first time, I was able to heat the sauce to thicken a bit and then I added the roasted cauliflower and plain Greek yogurt. My husband gave it 9.5 out of 10! Do not miss this recipe!
Holy moly this was SO good. I added carrots and potatoes right after the chicken and it still came out perfect. Only thing is it overall took me like 1.5 hours with chopping, waiting for my instant pot to get to the right heat for saute and pressure cook… but so worth it!
This dish was so so good! My husband and I cleaned our plates and I’m already excited about leftovers for my lunch tomorrow. I followed this recipe to the letter and there’s nothing I would change! I served it with naan and Jasmin rice.
I’ve made this like 10 times already. It’s SO good and SO easy that my fiancé and I have made it a staple in our household. We make it at least once a month. It’s also amazing left over too. We put it on top of rice and have a side of naan with it. Amazing 10/10 family favorite.
I have been making this regularly for my family for some time and we love it! I always have the ingredients on hand, but somehow I have a can of coconut cream instead of coconut milk. Can I use that in place of the coconut milk?
Hi Melanie, I haven’t tried it myself but you could give it a try. They are two different consistences so it might change the intended outcome. Let us know how it goes!
Followed the instructions exactly and it turned out great. Wouldn’t change a thing. Served with steamed cauliflower. Question: Do you have a sodium nutritional number? Thank you for the recipe, I will make it again.
Glad you enjoyed it, Al. I stopped including sodium info because it can vary so much depending upon what products you used, and I found a lot of conflicting info online, so ultimately I didn’t feel comfortable publishing it because sometimes it wasn’t even in the ballpark. If you’d like to calculate it yourself, there are lots of free tools online (myfitnesspal.com is popular). I hope that helps!
I completely understand not providing the sodium count, especially with so many variables. I will check out the website you provided, thank you. I did a quick calculation of the ingredients and total sodium for this recipe is approximately 2000 mg. That includes the kosher salt, chili powder and coconut milk. So that comes to about 330 mg per serving. For a meal like this that is very good. Using kosher salt, which has less sodium than table salt, and no salt tomato sauce really helps reduce the sodium. Thanks for providing healthy recipes.
Love this recipe. I’ve made it a ton of times and it always comes out perfect. I want to double the recipe so that I can have more for meal prep. Anyone know if I need to alter the cook time if doubling the recipe?
Hi Lukas, I haven’t tried it myself, but I don’t think so. Other readers have doubled it with great success. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!
Fantastic recipe! I’ve only made it once, but there is a ton of flavor. I used light coconut milk/ olive oil and I served it with quinoa and a pan fried cabbage. Looking forward to experimenting with this in the future!
This was very easy and tasty! I was worried the chicken would be dry but it stayed moist, even after reheating the next day. I accidentally put a larger can of tomato sauce in and just adjusted the seasoning. My family wants it to become a regular on the menu.
I have made this recipe so many times, and it truly is delicious. It’s one of my husband’s favorites. One problem I’ve had several times though is that I will get the burn food warning. Does anyone else have that problem? Is it okay to add a 1/2 cup or a cup of water before putting the lid on the Instant Pot? Or is there something I’m missing? Thanks for any suggestions.
Kathy, I am so happy you both love this! I’ve never been able to replicate the burn warning but I hear newer instant pots are more sensitive. You can definitely experiment with adding more water; just note it might be a little thinner at the end.

Love to hear that, thank you Shelby!
Would coconut cream work in this recipe? Any adjustments to make if I use that?
Hi Lindsay, are you looking to replace the greek yogurt?
My family loves this! They say it tastes like I ordered from a restaurant.
Love to hear that! Thank you Sharyn!

Great! Thank you!
It is a fantastic recipe; I tripled the sauce and added additional amounts of spices. I also added pre-cooked sweet potato, cauliflower, and zucchini.
Glad you enjoyed it, CaryBeth!
Can you double this recipe with a 6qt instant pot?

How many calories is the chicken tikki alone? Posted calories of 355 include the brown rice.
Hi Alicia, the calories do not include the brown rice. We’ve included it in the servings so readers know the amount of each serving. Hope this helps!
