3 tbsp oil

1 tsp fenugreek seeds

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp fennel seeds

1 tsp nigella seeds or onions seeds

4 dried whole red chilies

1 tbsp garlic paste

2 tbsp ginger paste

1 qt large yellow onion finely sliced

How to make Achari Chicken :

Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and heat oil. Add the mustard seeds and once they start to pop add cumin seeds,
fennel seeds, nigella seeds, and fenugreek seeds. Sauté for 10 seconds. Add the sliced onion and mix well.
Add whole red chilies and saute for 3 to 4 mins covered or until the onions become translucent. Next, add ginger,
garlic paste, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and mix well.

Turn off sauté mode, add ½ cup of water and deglaze the pot. Add the chicken pieces and stir everything together until
the chicken is coated with all the spices. Layer the tomato paste on top and do not mix. Close the Instant Pot and pressure cook for 6 minutes
followed by natural pressure release.

Open the Instant Pot and add some hot gravy to the bowl of yogurt and stir. This helps bringing up the temperature of cold yogurt,
preventing it from splitting in the curry. Add the curried yogurt to the chicken and mix well. Stir in lemon juice and garnish with cilantro.
