Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

  1. Set the slow cooker to low heat. Put the garlic, onions and ginger in a blender with a splash of water and mix to a paste. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sear the chicken pieces. Remove from the pan and put to one side. Add onion paste to the frying pan and fry over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in the tomato puree, sugar and spices into the onion paste and fry for 1 minute. Now pop the chicken back in along with any resting juice and add stock. Stir and bring to a simmer and then spoon into the slow cooker. Cook on low heat for 5-6 hours until the chicken is cooked and tender.
     
  3. Stir through the cream and leave for 10 minutes. Serve with basmati rice and naan bread. Cheesy topped naans go down a treat with my children!
