Ingredients

  • 600 g (1.3 lb) skinless boneless chicken thighs quartered
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 cm piece of ginger finely chopped (skin left on for extra heat – optional)
  • 2 green chillies finely chopped
  • 400 ml (14 oz) tin coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp mild chilli powder
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • a handful of leaves of fresh coriander chopped
  • cooked rice to serve
  • roti naans or poppadom crisps and chutney, to serve

Instructions

  • Heat the slow cooker to high. Put all the ingredients except the coriander, rice and breads or poppadom crisps and chutney in the slow cooker. Stir well, then put on a lid and cook for 4 hours. Season, stir in the coriander and serve with rice and breads or poppadom crisps and chutney.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be enjoyed for lunch the next day or freeze them for another day - portion up and place in an airtight container, leave to cool and then pop into the freezer.   Defrost overnight and reheat in a pan on the hob.
  • This slow cooker chicken curry recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people – I think you could easily double or treble the ingredients and still have space for more!
