NORTH INDIAN CHICKEN CURRY-1
NORTH INDIAN CHICKEN CURRY-2

This flavorful North Indian style curry is very easy to make, and if you make it in your Instant Pot you can cut the cooking time down tremendously! Serve with basmati rice, or riced cauliflower if you are on a grain-free diet, and a raw chutney for an easy, nourishing weeknight meal. For faster meal prep, use an 18-ounce glass jar of organic diced tomatoes! Jovial is the brand I use. 

Ingredients
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless chicken breasts cubed
1 medium onions finely chopped
4 cloves garlic crushed
1 inches fresh ginger finely grated
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoons turmeric powder
1 teaspoons ground coriander
½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1½ teaspoons sea salt
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 cups plain yogurt
1 cups chopped cilantro

I teach small hands-on trainings for physicians at my clinic, One Living, and always host a lunch or dinner - this recipe has become a favorite at classes this past winter and spring.

The first time I accidentally bought the Vanilla flavored Cashew Yogurt and it might have even been better than the plain! Its a little less tangy and a bit more liquid but still so excellent!

This tasted like it came from a restaurant. I used full-fat coconut milk yogurt in place of regular to make it dairy free. I wish I doubled the recipe.
