Chicken Masala

Chicken Masala is an Indian curry with marinated chicken pieces cooked in a delicious onion-tomato-based gravy.

You will also find it on the menu of most North Indian restaurants. Everyone has a different style of making chicken masala; the recipe also changes from region to region.

In this post, I am sharing the basic restaurant-style chicken masala recipe that is super easy to make, and even beginner cooks can easily attempt it.

You can make this curry in an instant pot, a traditional pressure cooker, or over the stovetop. I share all three methods in the post below.

This easy gluten-free murgh masala recipe does not require overnight marination. It uses straightforward ingredients and is packed with flavors.

If making it in an instant pot, use a 3-quart IP. And if making it in a traditional stovetop pressure cooker, use a 3-liter pressure cooker.

If scaling the recipe, use a bigger IP (6 quarts) or pressure cooker (5 liters). The cooking time will remain the same.
