Another great recipe that my family loved. I love Indian food but was always afraid of cooking it and getting all the spices right. Now I’m eating more vegetarian dishes that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing the recipe, your videos are great!
Tried this recipe and it was delicious! Will definitely be making again. One important note though... the paneer burned super badly at the bottom of the instant pot whole browning and made clean up a huge effort. Next time I’ll brown the paneer in a non stick pan separately and then add to the gravy. The clean up ended up taking longer than making the whole dish. Other than that loved it!
We made this a couple weeks ago and it turned out amazing! We tried it again last night swapping out the heavy cream with cashew cream and was still delicious! It was a little spicier maybe because the cashew cream doesn’t cut the heat as much as the heavy cream but still soooo good! Thank you!
If I use freshly blended tomatoes. How many Roma tomatoes do you think I should use? As far as it is 28oz, it’s ok? I love this recepie, I’ve made it before and was a big hit for the family. I want to make it with fresh tomatoes for Mother’s Day.
Feels like cheating by using Shan masala but who cares, I don't have the patience to make my own. We didn't buy instant pot to cook for hours, so there you go. Nice video!!
Love your channel! Learn so much from you! Are you able to provide how many servings it provides on your recipes so we know how to adjust for number of people eating?
+Jayanthi Sridhar Hi! Thank you! No, the InstantPot does not come with the glass lid but if you go to www.instapottinwithpoonam.com and click on Shop, you can buy the lid from there. I have the 6qt duo instant pot.
Looks great - thanks for sharing! One suggestion for anyone who wants to make it even more "restaurant style" - add the cream once the IP is done and use an immersion blender to blend up the tomato/onion gravy until it's smooth. Add the paneer and kasoori methi after that and then simmer for a few minutes. Thanks Poonam!
So I made this for dinner tonight. Love that it was all done in less than an hour, making it possible to have a weekend dish on a Monday night after work. I do feel that the tomatoes made it a little too tart for my tastes, so I think next time I'll make a little cashew paste and throw that it prior to the 5 minutes of IP time. Also, had a ton of gravy left over (since we don't typically eat it with rice, 2 packages of paneer would have been good instead of one) so I'm going to add some chicken and repressurize. Thanks for an easy recipe!
+Mona Sen Happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Yes, there definitely is a lot of gravy in this dish but it's a personal preference for my family. It's a great idea to repurpose it with chicken!
+Mona Sen That's great that you tried it and also thought of your own variations as well. Which all of your ideas are great. Send us some suggestions we would love to try it out. Happy Instapottin'
Great recipe but I got a "burn" message on my IP! Do you know why I could have gotten the message? I did add some water after putting in the crushed tomatoes and the whipping cream and followed all the instructions step-by-step. Thank you!
Unfortunately a lot of the new instant pots are ultra sensitive to the burn message. You may need to add extra water and scrape the bottom of the pot before pressure cooking.
Very unhealthy! The big can of crushed tomatoes contain so much sodium and preservatives instead crush your fresh own tomatoes at home. Whipping cream - which is the most unhealthy ingredient made out of saturated fats rather go for 2% milk or cashew milk for vegans. Instead of using pre packaged masala, we can use garam masala and throw our own cardamom, cloves, etc. I think we can resort to more simpler and healthier eating options.
Thanks. All your recipes are kick-ass. I love the dump and go ones.

Gotta get the temperature hot enough and use a good oil, like ghee.
This literally just happened to me and my pot said hot

That's a great idea to use cashew cream!
Instapottin' With Poonam just trying out the vegan variations suggested in the recipe 👍🏼
every time you said Paneer - I laughed! :)
A lot of Gujarati's pronounce "Paneer" this way.

Awesome and lovely presentation. And does it come the glass lid too? and what model is your IP? Thanks

Yummy 😋
How many tablespoons of butter chicken masala should we add?

Is there any way to make this a bit more thick? Looks great btw!
You could possibly add a cornstarch and water mixture after pressure cooking and allow to thicken on sauté mode for a few minutes.
Fresh tomatoes would be ideal....prabha
Great Recipe :)
+Asra Hussaini thank you!
whats the point of doing it in the ip
Quicker and less things to clean
If I put in the paneer with the tomato mixture in the IP and then pressure it, will the paneer all melt ?
No, the paneer should not melt or be affected.
Is there any other creams we can use for lactose intolerant people?
You may be able to make a cashew cream and add it after pressure cooking to give it the same creaminess.
Do all these pots come with a glass lid? Mine didn’t come with one
+xlegendaryfashionx Hi! They do not come with a glass lid. I am using my own lid but you can buy one here amzn.to/2uCYPOC
They don’t. I use one from my regular pots.
Can i use tomato paste instead of crushed tomato?
If you do, make sure you have enough liquid in your pot otherwise you will get the burn signal.
will it be the same if I use milk or curd instead of cream?
It won't be as creamy but if you do, use the milk or curd after pressure cooking so it will not curdle.
Also if you use yogurt, reduce the tomatoes. Yogurt will make the gravy tart, just as the tomatoes do.
If you use the frozen cubed, do you just IP the gravy and simmer in the cubes?
Yes that would be best

Very unhealthy! The big can of crushed tomatoes contain so much sodium and preservatives instead crush your fresh own tomatoes at home.

I was thinking the same when I watched this! Never understood "whipping cream" or "canned tomatoes" for Indian food.
