- Cook on high for 8 – 10 whistles or 6 minutes whichever comes first. Let the pressure release.
- Remove the chicken.
- Blend the tomatoes and remaining liquid along with 1/2 cup cream. Put the paste through a sieve for a smoother gravy(optional).
- Mix in the chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes adjusting the gravy by reducing or adding hot water as per taste keeping in mind that the gravy will thicken as it sits.

Notes
- Vegetarians can use baby potatoes or mushrooms instead of chicken in this recipe and pressure cook on high for 5 whistles.
- Use more butter and cream for richer butter chicken.
- In a 2 ltr pressure cooker, cook for 8 whistles or 6 mins whichever comes first. FYI : I used a 3 ltr cooker and pressure cooked for 10 whistles which came within 4 mins.

Nothing Can Separate Us From His Love
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” – Romans 8:38-39
Here is a great illustration to explain why God’s love is so reliable:
One day a single friend asked a father of four, “Why do you love your kids?” The father thought for a minute, but the only answer he could come up with was, “Because they’re mine.”
So it is with God’s love for us. He loves us because we are his in Jesus Christ. We belong to him. We are his kids. Absolutely nothing that can ever drive a wedge between the children of God and their heavenly Father. No matter where we go, what we do, who we face, or what we fear, God will always be there with us and for us in all of his great love. We can walk securely knowing this truth.
God’s love is greater than your greatest fear. So, when that most dreaded fear confronts you, hold on to this promise.
Jesus loves you!!
