Now I think I know the first question you’re going to ask me–can you make chicken korma recipe in the pressure cooker without using a slow cook function? Well, many BURN messages later, I can tell you that it won’t work well. What happens is that the nut paste is relatively thick. Unless you want a watery korma (and trust me, you do not want a safed chicken korma that’s watery), there’s no way to make the chicken korma cook well under pressure. The sauce is just too thick. On the other hand, as simple as it is to make this slow cooker chicken korma, it’s really not that big a deal to use the slow cook function. By the way, Safed means white in Hindi, hence the name Safed Chicken Korma for this dish.
