Ingredients:
  • 600g chicken breasts
  • 50g butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Indian curry paste (I would add less next time to reduce the spicyness slightly for the kids. If it were for me I would double it!)

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 15 cardamom seeds
  • 140g tomato paste

Method:
  1. Melt the butter in a large frypan over medium heat.
  2. Add chicken and brown.
  3. Add onion and garlic, cooking until the onion has softened and turned translucent.
  4. Add curry paste, garam masala, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and tomato paste. Blend until smooth.
  5. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  6. Add coconut milk and yoghurt to the slow cooker and season to taste with salt.
