Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 7h50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

8-12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each cut into 3 chunks
2 tbsp veg or rapeseed oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
thumb-sized piece ginger, finely grated or chopped
3 tbsp tikka curry paste
500ml passata
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp malt vinegar
1 tbsp light brown soft sugar
1 cinnamon stick
5 cardamom pods
100ml double cream
handful chopped coriander
cooked basmati rice, lime wedges and naan bread, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the slow cooker. Season the chicken, then put the oil in a wide frying pan and, once hot, add the chicken. Don't overcrowd the pan - you may want to do this in batches. Cook over a high heat until the chicken is browned, then transfer it to the slow cooker. Add the onion, garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for a few mins until softened. Add a splash of water and scrape any bits from the bottom of the pan, then tip everything into the slow cooker.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, except the cream and coriander, then season well and cover with a lid. Cook on low for 5-7 hrs or on high for 4-5 hrs.
  • Add the cream and check the seasoning, adding more vinegar, sugar or salt if needed. Cook for another 10-15 mins until hot. Ladle between bowls and garnish with the coriander. Serve with rice, naan bread and lime wedges, if you like.
