Slow Cooker Curry

October 7, 2011

This is a mild curry on the sweet side, kind of a combination korma/butter chicken. This is a very flexible recipe–and very easy if you have the ingredients. No marinating necessary, because it cooks so long. I haven’t included amounts because I usually add to taste, depending on how much I’m making.

Chicken (chopped)
Onion (1 medium, chopped)
Tomato Paste OR Diced Canned Tomatoes
Greek Yogurt OR Cream OR Coconut Milk
Lemon Juice OR Lime Juice
Honey
Cashews (optional)
Green Onions (optional)
Butter
Spices to Taste: Pick and choose!
Curry Powder
Chili Powder or Paste
Ginger Powder or Fresh Grated
Garlic (1 head, chopped)
Turmeric
Paprika
Cloves, ground (1/8 tsp)
Cinnamon
Cumin
Cardamom

Add butter and chopped onions to slow cooker first. Then add chopped chicken, lemon juice, tomato paste, garlic, honey, green onions and cashews (if using). Add spices to taste. When mixture is completely cooked, add yogurt, cream or coconut milk–do not add it earlier or it will curdle slightly (but even if it does, it’s still delicious!).
