Chicken Potato Curry in Pressure Cooker | Chicken Recipe

Did you ever tried a combination of chicken and potato in curry form? No? Then it's time for you to do it. Chicken and potato comes together wonderfully and potato adds extra taste to the curry.   I learnt this from my SIL whom makes this really very good this is not exactly her recipe I made it my way but the idea is same.  When we have functions, festive time, family gathering and there are around 20 people then it's a big task to prepare so much of food and my SIL will add potato along chicken to increase the curry quantity, also kids love to eat potato so it's bonus for them.

This curry works best with plain steamed rice or jeera rice and we don't need anything else to cook that makes the work more easy.  This chicken and potato curry it made in amazing little over 30 minutes from start to end in pressure cooker, can it get better than this?

You can see the oil floating on top but actually I added less oil but the pressure cooker does the magic and the oil floats on top.  Also I used mustard oil in marination if you don't have that then use your regular oil it works too.  The curry is made with minimal and basic ingredients which we can always find in pantry so if you are in hurry then this curry suits best for you.

Gravy/curry is normally thin in this recipe but if you want to have thick gravy grind onion and then saute it following the same method just you have to cook the onion paste well until it starts to separate oil.  You can also try this recipe for your Iftar menu as it's quick and easy or if you eat chicken curry in Sehri/Suhoor then it's best option too to make this in 30 minutes, you can eat this with bread.
