In spite of the instant paste, out of habit, he added some spices as well. 



3 Simple Steps : 

1. Saute Ingredients.

2. Add Chicken.

3. Add Rice & Vegetables.

Add seasalt. Add water just about covering 
the contents in the pressure cooker pot.

Close lid. Let the pressure cooker take over. :D

Hmmm-mmm-mmm. :D
