Instant Pot Indian Recipes – we’ve got them and they are good, y’all.
Something has happened to my taste buds. I previously was obsessed with Mexican food. I still am (see Mexican Instant Pot Recipes) but Indian food, that’s my new love. Each Friday night, we take the kids out to try a new Indian restaurant. The food and culture is fascinating to me.
Let’s look at how we can use the Instant Pot for indian cooking.
A few weeks ago, we had zero plans for the weekend. That never happens. I decided rather than going out to eat Indian food, I was going to try some Instant Pot Indian recipes. WOW. As much as I love trying the different Indian restaurants – my favorite is now made right in my own kitchen!
I’ve rounded up the best Indian Instant Pot recipes that I’ve found. Take an afternoon to try making these. It’s a fun experience, get the kids involved!

Pressure Cooker Indian Butter Chicken
This was our first Instant Pot Indian recipe that we made. My daughter, who is a self-proclaimed hater of Indian food, LOVED this dish. Our boys licked their bowls clean. We now double this Instant Pot Indian Butter Chicken recipe and eat it a few times over the course of the week. DELISH!
