Saute the Chicken:
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add two tablespoons of olive oil.

- Add the aromatics: cumin, garam masala, red chili powder, sugar, and paprika, and cook for 1 minute.
- Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker. Add the chicken.
- Add the tomato sauce and evaporated milk. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
Cook:
- Cook low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Thirty minutes nearly the end of the cooking time, open the lid and stir in the heavy cream.
- Serve with rice garnished with cilantro.
