Notes
- Make sure you are using fresh spices. If you spices have been open for longer than 6 months, then they won't have much flavour and you won't get the best tasting chicken tikka curry.
- You can swap the cream for coconut milk if you wanted a more coconut flavour.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you could make a cornstarch slurry. However, we like a thinner sauce for this. Using passata instead of tinned tomatoes would give a thicker sauce too.
- Add some extra vegetables by stirring in some spinach just before serving, or cooking some chunks of butternut squash when the chicken goes in the slow cooker.
