- 3 Tablespoon butter
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1 onion - chopped
- 3 garlic cloves - crushed
- 2 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 1 teaspoon ground Cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground Coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground Tumeric

- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 1 jar (700g) Tomato Passata
- 1 tin (400ml) Coconut Cream
Instructions
- Heat oil and butter until melted (either in large fry pan or slow cooker on stove top if able)
- Add onion and garlic and cook gently until onions are soft.
- Add chicken and seal.
- Stir in combined spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add tomato paste. Stir to combine then cook for 1 minute.
- Add Passata. Stir to combine thoroughly.
- Cook in slow cooker on High 4 hours.
- Stir occasionally.
- Stir in coconut cream in the last hour.
Notes
- I served with seasoned rice and Naan bread.
- I combined all spices in a small bowl prior to adding.
- I like a little heat so used “hot” versions of paprika and cayenne. Adjust to own taste.
- I used Breville BSC560 which is 6L with searing bowl. Adjust cooking time to your cooker.

Absolutely beautiful – will definitely make again
Really tasty recipe, I’ll be definitely making this again.
Might leave out the sugar – the recipe is great as it is!
That’s only my personal preference though 🙂
Have made this twice now and we love it! Especially my 1 year old. I think it’s her favourite meal. Freezes well too.
Delicious! I skipped all the pre-cook instructions & put it all in SC together. I left out the sugar (a personal preference) & forgot to buy coconut cream. Used dairy cream on individual serve instead (individuals for personal preference). This one will be made again.
