Introduction
Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala is the recipe most requested by my readers, but it’s taken me a while to get the recipe just right. I know that one of the main reasons most of us use the Instant Pot is to make quick and easy recipes that also taste great!
For most Instant Pot users (myself included) it’s all about minimal mess and quick and easy recipes.
My original stovetop recipe uses grilled Tandoori chicken which gets mixed into a cream sauce, but I wanted to create an Instant Pot recipe without the extra step of barbecuing the chicken separately.
I wanted a pressure cooker recipe that is not only easy but also tastes as good as the stovetop version. I think this recipe accomplishes all that, and I think you’ll agree!
People often wonder what the difference is between the two most popular dishes at Indian restaurants: Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala. They’re very similar. And ever-evolving. Every Indian restaurant probably has its own take, and opinions vary on what constitutes an ‘authentic’ version of this curry.
But this much is true: Butter Chicken (Murgh or Chicken Makhani) originated in North India, whereas Chicken Tikka Masala is a British adaptation of Butter Chicken. Both dishes are popular because they are relatively mild dishes and are a great introduction to Indian food.
If you like the flavor of chicken tikka masala, give this one-pot curry pasta recipe a shot!

Tips and Substitutions
Ghee
You can substitute ghee for the butter. And if you want to add an additional tablespoon of ghee or butter to the finished dish, feel free to do that.
Kashmiri Chili Powder
Kashmiri chili powder is a special kind of Indian chili powder that has a bright red color without being too spicy. I actually use more than is called for in the recipe, so if you like your curries on the spicy side, you can add more.
It can be found at Indian grocery stores or on amazon. If you can’t find Kashmiri chili powder, go ahead and substitute a smaller quantity of cayenne pepper.
The great thing about Indian dishes is that you can make them as mild as you like by adjusting the quantity of chili powder or substituting paprika for the chili powder. The recipe, as written, is not very spicy (by my Indian standards!)
Honey
I really like how the honey balance out the tartness of the tomato sauce and paste. And here’s a secret: although my recipe states that I use 1 tablespoon of honey, I do frequently add an extra teaspoon or two of honey, to taste, at the end.
Tomato sauce
Tomato sauce is a canned tomato concentrate similar to tomato puree with minimal spices, used to make tomato-based sauces like pasta sauce. In the UK, for example, it’s called tomato passata.
Garam masala
You can definitely use store-bought garam masala, but make sure it hasn’t been sitting on your shelf for ages. If so, buy a fresh jar.
If possible, use a homemade garam masala, preferably ground fresh. If you don’t have your own garam masala, here’s a quick way:
- 1 ½ tsp whole cloves (1 tsp ground cloves)
- 2 inch piece of cinnamon stick (1 tsp cinnamon powder)
- 30 cardamom pods (1 tsp cardamom powder)
- ¼ nutmeg (½ tsp nutmeg powder)
- 1 tsp fennel seeds (1 tsp ground fennel)
- 2 pieces star anise (1 tsp powdered star anise)
Grind in a coffee grinder or mix powders together and store in a cool dry place. The aroma is heavenly!!
Fenugreek
Fenugreek is an herb that’s commonly used in Indian cooking. In Hindi, it’s referred to as ‘methi’. We use the leaves and the seeds in various Indian dishes. For this Instant Pot Indian chicken recipe, you can buy dried fenugreek leaves which you should be able to find at an Indian or South Asian store. It adds a very special taste to this curry, and its absence is noticeable.
Lemon Juice
The lemon juice is an optional ingredient if you don’t like tart flavors. The tomato sauce and tomato paste add enough tartness that you can omit the lemon juice if you wish.
Cream
To make the dish healthy, reduce the quantity of heavy cream or substitute half and half. There will be a taste difference! If you’d like a richer curry, add some extra cream.
Tomato paste
If you’ve made my Instant Pot Indian Chicken Curry before with no sealing/pressurizing issues, feel free to saute the tomato paste in this recipe (mixed with some water) after sauteing the ginger and garlic, and then add the spices. Deglaze really well with water or broth after sauteing and before proceeding with the recipe.
Burn message
I have no problem bringing my Instant Pot to pressure with the recipe, as written. If you regularly encounter the Burn message, you can add the tomato sauce and tomato paste together on top of the other ingredients, without stirring. If you still have issues, add some more liquid, e.g. a few tablespoons of chicken broth, with the yogurt.

FAQS
Chicken tikka masala originated as a British adaptation of an Indian chicken curry called butter chicken. It’s a creamy, tomato-ey, saucy, flavorful chicken recipe that’s generally eaten with rice or naan (bread).
I think of chicken tikka masala as being a tomato-ey cousin of butter chicken. The flavors are more intense, while butter chicken is slightly milder.
It is not exactly authentic because I’ve streamlined the recipe to eliminate the grilling of the chicken which gives this easy tikka masala recipe an added layer of flavor. However, it’s still so delicious with much less work! I make this version much more often because it’s so convenient on busy weeknights.
You definitely may add vegetables to the chicken tikka masala. Since vegetables cook quite fast, add them after pressure cooking but before you add the cream. Some good choices are peas or spinach.
Paneer tikka masala is also a great option with this recipe. Pressure cook the paneer for two minutes instead of four minutes.
You can use crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. Blend the crushed tomatoes in a blender if you want to make the sauce smooth.
This Instant Pot tikka masala is not too spicy. To make it spicier, add more chili powder or chop up some jalapeno pepper or serrano pepper and saute with the garlic and ginger.
No, fenugreek seeds are completely different from fenugreek leaves, even though they come from the same plant. Omit the fenugreek leaves if you can’t find them.
Since garam masala is made from toasted and ground ingredients, it adds a special flavor and aroma to a dish. Adding it at the end adds to the freshness of the recipe.
To make a healthy chicken tikka masala, you can reduce the quantity of cream, but there will be a difference in flavor. You can also substitute vegetable oil for ghee. You might also want to try my healthy cashew butter chicken recipe – it’s delicious too!
All Instant Pot models and other brands of pressure cookers such as Ninja Foodi can be used to make this recipe.
Yes, you can make this chicken tikka masala in the Instant Pot mini. Use the same cooking time.
Yes, there’s enough liquid in the recipe that you should be able to make the recipe in an 8-quart Instant Pot.
Yes, the recipe can be doubled without changing the cooking time.
As long as you have the minimum quantity of liquid to get your pressure cooker to pressurize, you can reduce the recipe e.g. halve it, but keep the same cooking time.
You can make the tikka masala ahead of time – it actually tastes better the next day! – but don’t add the cream and garam masala until you’re ready to heat it up before serving.
The chicken tikka masala can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Yes, freeze the curry in an airtight container and it should last 2 to 3 months in the freezer. There may be a slight change in consistency due to the dairy products. If you can, avoid adding the cream until you reheat the chicken tikka masala.

This is…..
SOOOOOO good.
Not one thing wrong with it. Perfect texture, taste, & consistency. We gobbled it up.
Neena is someone who’s recipes I TRUST.
Paint the Kitchen Red
Wow, what a nice comment. Thank you, Robin!
Danesovic
Hi, are you using the whole can of crushed tomatoes which would be 15oz? In the recipe says 8oz, so I’m not sure. Trying to get it right.
Thanks!
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi there, it’s actually tomato sauce and that normally comes in 8 oz cans (where I live). If you do crushed tomatoes, blend them so you have a smooth sauce. I don’t think you’d need the whole 15 oz. You can also use tomato paste mixed with water (1:1) to make up 8 oz.
Allison
Yes! So easy although finding some of the ingredients was hard for me. Also had to cut back on the kashmiri chili powder. A bit too much for me in the recipe. Especially the next day when everything has combined nicely!
Paint the Kitchen Red
Thanks, Allison, for your comment! I’m so glad you like the recipe.
Tara
This was the first recipe I tried in my Instant Pot. I was immediately sold- so fast, so easy and soooo delicious. It’s now a family standby.
Paint the Kitchen Red
Tara, I’m glad you liked the recipe. It’s one of my go-to recipes when I want something quick and will feed a lot of people – you can easily double it 🙂
Kathleen
Fabulous recipe!
Paint the Kitchen Red
Thanks for commenting, Kathleen!
Chris Munson
Neena, You hit it out of the park again! This is as good as, if not better than any restaurant’s The chicken is moist and the sauce is SO GOOD! I even had to work with some of the substitutes you recommend and the recipe seemed foolproof. It was delicious and my family was impressed.😊
Paint the Kitchen Red
Wow, so awesome to hear that Chris – I’m thrilled that the whole family enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
Natalia
My husband loves Chicken Tikka Masala (I’m more of a Saag Paneer kinda person lol) but we both absolutely loved this and it is our new favorite dinner. Would it be possible to make a big batch and freeze it? Probably without the chicken. We are meal planing for when our baby arrives and it would be AMAZING to have this for dinner often!!
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Natalia! Thanks for your question. I’ve not frozen this recipe but I think you could – without the cream. Add cream after thawing and reheating. If you try it out, please do let me know how it goes. By the way, you could use this same recipe to make paneer. Reduce the cooking time to 2 minutes and add either fresh spinach or thawed/squeezed dry spinach at the end and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. And congratulations on the baby!
sandra
Delicious! I made this is written (but no fenugreek) and it was perfect. Such yummy flavors and texture! Next time, I’ll be sure to have mehti on hand!
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Sandra, thanks for commenting and I’m so happy you liked it. I love the ease of the recipe and yes, the methi is a worthwhile addition.
Allison
I love this recipe! I make it probably once a month. It’s one of my absolute favorites! I make a batch and it’s my dinner for about 4 or 5 days throughout the week! I keep recommending it to others too! 💖
Paint the Kitchen Red
Thank you Allison! I love this one because of how easy it is!
Amanda
If I want to double the recipe do I keep the cook time the same?
I have made this as written a few times and my husband and I love it. We want to make some to feed 8+ people and still have some leftovers.
Paint the Kitchen Red
Amanda, yes, you keep the cook time the same. Just make sure the contents don’t go over the Max Fill line before pressure cooking.
Natasha
Can I substitute crushed tomatoes for tomato sauce?
Paint the Kitchen Red
Natasha, yes you should be able to. If you want to give the crushed tomatoes a whirl in the blender, that’ll make it smoother.
Lillian
Neena,
I made this tonight, and OH MY GOSH!!! This is seriously THE BEST ever!!! My family loves chicken masala and I have tried making it at home several times since COVID started, but this one is actually yummier than our local restaurant!!! Thank you so so much for sharing this amazing recipe!!!
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Lillian, aww thank you so much for your comment. I’m thrilled to hear this. You might also like the chicken korma and the cashew butter chicken.
Lindsey Adams
LOVED this recipe! It was simple with very flavorful results. I ended up using a garam masala mix from a local spice shop in town though one of these days I’ll try blending my own mix. The only adjustment I made was adding an additional 1/2 tsp of chili powder because I love my food spicy.
Paint the Kitchen Red
Lindsey, I’m so thrilled that you liked the recipe. It’s almost as easy as opening a jar of Tikka Masala sauce 🙂
Sucharita Iyer
Hi, can I use this recipe to make paneer tikka Masala? I’m vegetarian, so if I replace the chicken with paneer when should I add the paneer and how long should I cook it?
Sucharita Iyer
Hi, if I make this recipe with Paneer instead of chicken (I’m vegetarian), what modifications do I need – when to add paneer, how much pressure cook time? I searched your site and couldn’t find a paneer tikka Masala recipe, hence this question! 😀
Paint the Kitchen Red
Sucharita, if you’re making it with paneer or tofu, pressure cook it for 2 minutes. Hope you like the recipe.
Sucharita Iyer
Hi Neena,
I made this recipe yesterday with Paneer and reduced the cook time to 2 minutes. It was fantastic! Family loved it and want this as the go to Paneer dish! Thanks!
Paint the Kitchen Red
Sucharita, that’s awesome. I’m so glad that you liked the recipe and were able to adapt it for your family! <3
Theresa
Question , can I use fenugreek seeds instead of fenugreek leaves . And how much Should I use ???
Thanks !
Paint the Kitchen Red
Theresa, thanks for your question. No don’t use the seeds, completely different flavor. Just omit the fenugreek leaves.
Sarah Empey
I recently found your blog and have LOVED the recipes I’ve tried. Thank you! I’d like to make this recipe soon and I have two questions.
1. My family loves the flavor of grilled chicken- what spice/cooking modifications should I make to allow for this? Should I marinate or spice the chicken before grilling and if so, do I modify the spices in the sauce? Thanks in advance for your answer 🙂
2. I’ve seen 2 different recipes for garam masala on your blog. One with mace (and a few other ingredients) and a simpler one, without mace. Do you recommend one over the other? I just bought a slice grinder and am building my supply of whole spices. 🙂
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Sarah, thanks for your questions.
1. is a tricky question. I’ve combined two recipes to make a one-step recipe for the Instant Pot. But if you want to add grilled chicken, I wouldn’t pressure cook the chicken – it will overcook. How about take half the quantity of spices including ginger and garlic, 1/4 cup yogurt, marinate 12 hours and grill. Then follow the recipe, pressure cook or just saute just the sauce, add in the chicken and heat through. Add cream at the end.
2. It may be harder for people to get the ingredients for the garam masala recipe with mace, so the other recipe is also fine. I need to post a consistent recipe, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Let me know if I can clarify anything!
Ruben R
I had the same question about your garam masala recipes. Thanks for answering. Just made this recipe and it turned out excellent. Even though I was missing the chili powder(used cayenne) and fenugreek. Ive already added those ingredients as well as mace to my list for next time! Thanks for sharing! I’ve already bookmarked more recipes¡
Paint the Kitchen Red
You’re most welcome, Ruben – glad to hear you liked the recipe.
Liz
delicious flavor! made it 2x and for some reason my sauce is always a little lumpy 🙁 but very tasty
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Liz – thanks for the comment. Do you use whole milk yogurt? It’s probably lumpy due to the yogurt curdling…. Not sure why though.
Tasha
I cant have yogurt. Any sub for that or may I oomit the yogurt and still get a good chicken tikka masala taste. Also is whipping cream needed??
Thanks cant wait to try looks yum and love chick tilla masala
Paint the Kitchen Red
Tasha – this recipe is traditionally known for its creaminess. You probably could replace the yogurt with coconut milk, and omit the cream. Of course, the flavors will be different. I think you might like another recipe of mine: Cashew Butter Chicken – it’s delicious too, and quite healthy.
Samiya
Wow, I love that you have directions for the instant pot DUO AND the instant pot Ultra. I have the Ultra and I was struggling with the pressure cooker settings and the seal options on the lid so I really appreciate how you added pictures and wrote instructions on how to use this recipe with the instant pot ultra. Thank you so much, love it and greatly appreciate it! Your recipe and steps were detailed and easy for a beginner like me, great job! Thank you and keep up the good work 🙂
Paint the Kitchen Red
Samiya, wow thanks for the lovely comment. Glad you find the details helpful.
Claire
I’d love to try this recipe but I don’t have an istapot just a crock pot. Is it possible to make this in a crockpot? What modifications would I have to make if so ?
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Claire, I’ve not tried this recipe in the Crockpot so I don’t know how it’ll turn out 🙂 I would saute the tomato paste and stir up the ingredients since there’s no worry about burn messages. You might want to reduce the spice quantity by about 1/3 since I increase the spices when I pressure cook. Add the cream at the end and simmer on high till thickened.
