Instructions

  • Add 600 g Chicken breast and 1 Onion to the slow cooker.
  • Add 400 g Chopped tomatoes, 1 tablespoon Tomato puree, 1 tablespoon Garlic and ginger paste, 4 tablespoon Tikka paste, 1 teaspoon Garam masala and 1 pinch Sea salt.
  • Stir well to mix everything together.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  • Add 100 ml Reduced fat crème fraîche and 10 g Fresh coriander (cilantro). Stir in and serve.

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 crème fraîche for coconut milk if you wanted a more coconut flavour.
  • Add some extra vegetables by stirring in some spinach just before serving, or cooking some chunks of butternut squash when the chicken goes into the slow cooker.
  • To really finish this dish off with lots of extra flavour, and to add some sweetness that would make it more appealing to kids, add a big spoonful of mango chutney at the same time as the crème fraîche.
