Ingredients
5 cloves garlic, more or less, to your own taste
1 teaspoon curry powder, mild medium or hot, depending how you like it
½ teaspoon chilli powder, I used a little bit more, I like it spicy
Fresh coriander to garnish, I opted out. I don’t like coriander
GARAM MASALA
Directions
1Mix all the herbs and spices together. Store it in an air tight container, in the pantry or dark place
2
3Cut the chicken thighs in bitesize pieces
4Slice the onion thin or to your liking. For no tears, I put the onion in the freezer for 10 min
5Press the garlic in a presser or buy ready made in a jar. I love the fresh garlic
6Heat some olive oil in a big pan
7Add the onions, stir frequently
8Add the crushed garlic
9Stir it together so the onions have become translucent
10Add the coconut milk, tomato paste, flour, Garam masala, curry powder, chilli powder and ginger powder until it is all combined. Let it simmer for a few minutes, until it has thickened up.
11Season with salt and pepper
12Set aside the sauce
13Fry the chicken until brown, just to sear them. Again its a matter of choice. I seared my chicken
14Place the chicken in the Slow Cooker
15Add the sauce
16Let it cook for 5 hours on low
17Served on Basmati rice and vegies on the side
18Enjoy

Trying something new tonight, and chose this for something a little different.
A lovely dish, but a little spicy for us, nothing a bit of greek yoghurt couldn’t fix though so will tweak it to our tastes when I make it again.
And yes I will definitely be making it again.

This is one of the best butter chicken recipes I’ve tried. I tweak it slighlty to suit our tastes but really good.
