How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic to the pan; cook 6 to 7 minutes or until starting to brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomato paste and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, and cook 3 minutes.

  • Step 2: Combine 1/2 cup of water and flour in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture, garam masala, paprika, curry powder, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir well. Bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute.

  • Step 3: Place the chicken thighs in a 6-quart slow cooker coated with cooking spray. Add the tomato mixture to the slow-cooker.

  • Step 4: Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or until the chicken is very tender and the sauce has thickened. Turn the slow cooker to high, uncover, and add the coconut milk, stirring with a whisk. Cook, uncovered for 15 minutes. Turn the slow cooker off. Stir in cilantro. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve over rice. Top each serving with yogurt.
