Instructions
-
Season chicken pieces with salt and set aside.
-
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt with garam masala, curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder to create a marinade.
-
Coat the chicken thoroughly in the marinade and marinate for 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
-
Sauté onions, garlic, and ginger until softened, either using the slow cooker sear function or in a pan.
-
Brown the marinated chicken in the same pan or slow cooker.
-
Add the reserved marinade, coconut milk, and tomato purée to the slow cooker and stir everything together.
-
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
-
Remove the lid for the final 30 minutes if a thicker sauce is desired.
-
Serve hot with naan or rice.
Notes
For a spicier dish, add more chili powder or fresh chopped chilies.
Substitute dairy-free yogurt for a dairy-free version.
Browning the chicken before slow cooking adds rich flavor but can be skipped for convenience.
Can be made ahead; flavors deepen after a day.
Easily doubles for feeding a crowd — ensure your slow cooker is large enough.
