I recently discovered the amazing world of vegan butter chicken, and I've been obsessed ever since. This dish is so creamy, flavorful, and satisfying, and it's incredibly easy to make in the Instant Pot.
The best part about this vegan butter chicken is that it uses simple, wholesome ingredients. The base of the dish is a blend of tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and chile peppers, and it's simmered until rich and flavorful. Then, soy curls and chickpeas are added to the pot, along with a blend of spices and seasonings. The result is a dish that is packed with flavor, protein, and fiber.
