====== Instant Pot Butter Chicken ======
From Delish.com where I am out of free recipes...

This was delicious. Looked a bit watery when done, but was actually the proper texture when served. Store bought Naan is disappointing, I prefer it over rice. Leftover butter chicken over rice is a very nice lunch.

I skipped the cilantro. Bought the yogurt and forgot to use it? This recipe isn't very spicy, maybe increase the heat and then serve with yogurt.

I used a little more ginger than the recipe calls for.

There is too little liquid, you'll get a burn warning, but, as I said, it's almost too thin as directed, so additional liquid isn't a good plan.

===== Ingredients =====
  * 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
  * 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  * 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  * 5 cloves garlic, crushed and roughly chopped
  * 2 tsp. peeled grated ginger
  * 6 oz. tomato paste
  * 2 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1" pieces
  * Kosher salt
  * Freshly ground black pepper
  * 1 c. water
  * 1 tbsp. garam masala
  * 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
  * 1 tsp. ground cumin
  * 1 tsp. paprika
  * 1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
  * 3/4 c. heavy cream
  * Fresh cilantro leaves, rice, naan, and yogurt, for serving

===== Directions =====
  - Preheat Instant Pot to "Sauté" setting. In pot, combine butter and oil until butter is melted. Add onion, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, until darkened in color, about 3 minutes.
  - Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken, water, garam masala, granulated sugar, cumin, paprika, and turmeric to pot. Seal lid and set to "Pressure Cook" on High for 5 minutes.
  - Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then follow manufacturer's instructions for quick releasing remaining steam. 
  - Stir in cream; season with salt and pepper.
  - Divide chicken and sauce among plates. Top with cilantro. Serve with rice, naan, and yogurt alongside.
