    • 2 cardamoms
    • 2 cloves
    • ¼ teaspoon fennel seeds

    Group-1

    • 2 cups chopped onions
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced or grated
    • ½ inch ginger, minced or grated

    Group-2

    • 2 medium roma tomatoes, chopped, about 1 cup
    • 4 teaspoons coriander powder
    • ½ to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder, depending on your spice level
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder

    Group-3

    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped into bite size chunks

    Instructions

    • Set Instant Pot to saute, add vegetable oil when hot. Add all whole spices and let toast for few seconds. 
    • Add all ingredients under Group-1, saute until onions turn translucent, about 4 minutes. 
      Add all ingredients under Group-2, saute until tomatoes are mushy, spices are toasted well and it begins to turn glossy (this is an indication that the spices are toasted well). Make sure you saute every few seconds at this stage, making sure that it does not burn at the bottom. 
    • Press cancel on Instant pot and stir in all ingredients in Group-3. Set manual for 5 minutes, making sure the valve is set at sealing position. 
      After 5 minutes, let Instant pot be in warm mode for 2-4 minutes. Turn valve to vent and quick release pressure.
