Traditionally made in a clay oven{tandoor}, which many of us have now adapted to outdoor grills, indoor ovens and now the moistest version of all is the luscious and spicy Tandoori Chicken – Instant Pot!
Hope you had a great Memorial day weekend! We had a fun long weekend – we got to hang out with our cousins, played soccer tournament and ran a 5K race. Although it rained all day in the Northeast and was bit chilly for the memorial day bbq, we did not give up on our plans.
We decided to bring our cookout indoors. We had chicken marinating for 8+ hours, that I cooked in my InstaPot. The result was succulent, fall off the bone, moist and flavorful tandoori chicken, that we enjoyed with some spicy mint chutney and corn pulao!
Once the chicken is well marinated, add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and put the trivet inside the pot. Place the chicken pieces over the trivet, layering the pieces if needed. Close the Instant Pot and pressure cook for 15 minutes followed by 10 minute natural pressure release.
Being that this version is made in the Instant Pot or slow cooker, like any good make-ahead meal, this Coconut Tandoori Chicken is kind of automatically not real tandoori chicken. The “tandoor” in tandoori chicken refers to a special type of clay oven that the the chicken gets roasted in. Normally tandoori chicken has a nice crusty golden brown exterior from all those spices + that high oven heat. Mine does not, because we are skipping the tandoor / oven / grill situation in favor of something easier.
