Pressure cooker chicken tikka massala - Paleo

MARINADE INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup Coconut Milk
2 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp. Minced Fresh Garlic 1 Tbsp. Minced Fresh Ginger
¼ Tsp. Cumin
¼ Tsp. Crushed Coriander
½ Tsp. Kosher Salt
¾  Tsp. Garam Masala (This is the Indian spice that makes this dish what it is.)
¼ Tsp. Cayenne Pepper
6-8 Chicken Breasts

Combine all the ingredients except the chicken.  Mix well.
Take a knife or a fork and poke the heck out of the chicken.  Throw the chicken in with the Coconut milk mixture and coat each piece well.  Put everything into the refrigerator and refrigerate for at least 1-hour or even overnight is fine.

SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp. Cooking Oil
1 Cup Onion; Chopped
2 ½ Tsp. Garam Masala
2 Tsp. Minced Fresh Garlic
2 Tsp. Minced Fresh Ginger
1 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper
2 Tbsp. Tomato Paste
½ Cup coconut milk

Press START on the pressure cooker to start the Browning cycle.  Add the oil and onions to the main cooking pot and cook until it begins to brown.  Add the spices and the chile and stir to cook until fragrant. 

Stir in the tomato paste.  Add half of the milk and stir

Add the chicken to the sauce and coat well.  Now it’s time for the Pressure Cooker to do its thing.

Shut the lid and turn it counter-clockwise to lock it.  Set the Pressure Valve to “Airtight”.   Program the cooker for 20-minutes.  Press START.

When the cooking cycle is done, the pressure cooker will beep and go to Keep Warm.  Release the pressure by turning the Pressure Valve to “Exhaust”.  Once all the pressure has released, the float valve will drop and allow you to turn and unlock the lid to open.  Stir the contents inside.  You’ll probably notice the sauce is not as thick.
Take out the chicken and set aside.  Press START on the pressure cooker to heat up the unit.  We’re going to cook the sauce some more now to thicken it by adding the rest of the coconut milk.  Stir it occasionally and reduce the mixture.  Make sure to taste as you go by adding salt or more cayenne pepper if you like it spicy.  Bring it to a boil. The sauce should thicken in less than 5-minutes.  Transfer the chicken back in with the mixture and coat thoroughly.  Press CANCEL to turn the  pressure cooker OFF.

Cauliflower "rice"

a small head of cauliflower, chopped coarsely
1 small onion,
2 tablespoons of butter
1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil
salt and pepper

After chopping up the cauliflower…


Throw the pieces of cauliflower and onion into the food processor.

Pulse the contents until they were reduced to the size of couscous or rice grains.

Then sautee the onions and cauliflower in the melted butter and coconut oil over medium heat

I seasoned it with  salt and pepper.  Then, I covered the skillet and cooked the cauliflower for 5-10 minutes until softened.
