- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 3 garlic cloves

- 1 chili
- 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Dice the onion and chicken, grate the garlic, and remove the seeds from the chili, then dice it finely.
Add the onion, chili and garlic to your Instant Pot along with the vegetable oil. Use the SAUTE setting to cook for a few minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent. Add all the seasoning to the pot, and stir with sautéing for another 30 seconds.
Then, add the water, canned diced tomatoes and chicken pieces to the Instant Pot. Give it a stir to mix it together. Turn off the SAUTE setting, and seal the lid on the pressure cooker. Cook the curry on PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL setting, on high pressure for 10 minutes. Then, perform a quick release to release all pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Stir the curry, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
