Slow Cooked Butter Chicken
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken thighs
- 1 large onion, I use red
- 5 cloves garlic, more or less, to your own taste
- 1 can (400gr) coconut milk
- ½ cup tomato paste
- 2 table spoons of plain flour
- 2 teaspoons Garam masala
- 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
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- Fresh coriander to garnish, I opted out. I don’t like coriander
GARAM MASALA
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon grounded cardamom
- 1 teaspoon grounded black pepper
- 1 teaspoon grounded cinnamon
- teaspoon grounded cloves
- teaspoon grounded nutmeg
Instructions
- Mix all the herbs and spices together. Store it in an air tight container, in the pantry or dark place
- Cut the chicken thighs in bitesize pieces
- Slice the onion thin or to your liking. For no tears, I put the onion in the freezer for 10 min
- Press the garlic in a presser or buy ready made in a jar. I love the fresh garlic
- Heat some olive oil in a big pan
- Add the onions, stir frequently
- Add the crushed garlic
- Stir it together so the onions have become translucent
- Add 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.
- Season with salt and pepper
- Set aside the sauce
- Fry the chicken until brown, just to sear them. Again its a matter of choice. I seared my chicken
- Place the chicken in the Slow Cooker
- Add the sauce
- Let it cook for 5 hours on low
- Served on Basmati rice and vegies on the side
- Enjoy

This is one of the best butter chicken recipes I’ve tried. I tweak it slighlty to suit our tastes but really good.
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.
Very yummy.
This was so easy and a real winner with everyone in the house. I’ll definitely make again. Thanks for the recipe! ?
