Ingredients
- 600 g chicken breast chopped
- 200 g natural yogurt
- 0.5 lemon juice only
- 2 tablespoon garam masala
- 0.5 tablespoon cumin
- 0.5 tablespoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon chilli powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 3 garlic clove crushed
- 30 g fresh ginger diced
- 1 tablespoon tomato puree
- 30 g butter
- 200 ml coconut milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add 600 g Chicken breast, 200 g Natural yogurt, juice of 0.5 Lemon, 0.5 tablespoon Cumin, 0.5 teaspoon Chilli powder and 0.5 tablespoon Paprika and mix well. Put in the fridge for a couple of hours, or it can be kept in there overnight.
- In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil and then add 1 Onion, 3 Garlic clove and 30 g Fresh ginger and cook on low for 4-5 minutes until softened.
- Add 2 tablespoon Garam masala and 1 tablespoon Tomato puree and stir.
- Add the chicken mixture and 200 ml Coconut milk and stir well.
- Transfer it to a slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours. Add 30 g Butter 10 minutes before finished and stir.
Notes
- You can use light coconut milk instead of full fat in this curry, but you won't get the same creamy flavour.
- Add a little crunch to this curry by serving with some cashew nuts on top.
- This is a really mild curry, making it perfect for serving up to the whole family. However you you can always add a finely diced red chilli to the sauce, or just sprinkle some red chilli flakes.
- You can give this an extra protein boost by adding some quick cook lentils at the same time as the coconut milk.
- An easy way to add a little extra flavour, texture and creaminess is by adding a spoonful of peanut butter (or almond or cashew).
- Add some fresh coriander (cilantro) before serving to lighten it up a little.
