Instructions
- In the inner pot of your Express Cooker, combine chicken thighs with diced tomatoes (with liquid), tomato paste, water, chopped garlic and ginger, turmeric, smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons garam masala, cumin and cinnamon stick. Stir to combine.
- Lock lid and place valve to “seal”. Set to manual pressure high for 10 minutes.
- Allow to naturally release for 5 minutes before releasing pressure.
- Take out cinnamon stick and discard.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove chicken thighs to a plate, leaving sauce in the inner pot. Cut into bite-size pieces.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the sauce (still in the inner pot) until smooth. Add white cooking wine and blend again.
- Add coconut milk and butter, blending again until smooth.
- Add Kosher salt and remaining 1 teaspoon garam masala, blending one more time.
- Return chicken to the butter sauce mixture and toss to coat.
- Serve over rice or with naan. Top with fresh cilantro, Maldon sea salt and fresh lime spritz.

Notes
- Use full fat coconut milk and shake the can well to combine it before adding to sauce. If the mixture has totally separated, you might need to transfer it to a microwave safe dish and heat just long enough to stir it back together.
- Instead of an immersion blender, you can transfer the sauce to a blender or mixing to make smooth.
- Wait for sauce to cool slightly before blending. There is less likelihood it will separate. Do not heat sauce to hot or it will seperate.
