    Chicken Pulao is also much lighter than chicken biryani, and its absolutely delicious! If youre a fan of chicken and rice, you will love this less popular one-pot Indian dish. And bonus, thanks to the pressure cooker it takes about 30 minutes start to finish! You can see more Instant Pot recipes here.,Alt=,Guys, I love Indian food! I eat it every chance I can. So when I got my hands on the Essential Indian Instant Pot Cookbook (affil link) I was all in! This cookbook has so many great Indian recipes for the Instant Pot, including chicken biryani. But I wanted to try something different, something with ingredients that were easy to find and was so happy to make this.,Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala,Chicken Dal Curry,Red Lentil Soup with Spinach,Instant Pot Barbacoa Beef,Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes
