Best chicken tikka masala slow cooker recipe
This is a super tasty chicken tikka masala recipe. Just throw all the ingredients into a slow cooker and you'll get an amazing chicken curry the whole family will love
Ingredients
- 650 g boneless chicken thighs/or breast cut into large chunks
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes or cayenne pepper extra if you want it spicy
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 chicken stock pot
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 3-4 tablespoons natural yoghurt
- 1/2 lemon juice only
- Fresh coriander chopped
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into the slow cooker, except the yoghurt, lemon juice and fresh coriander.
- Give it a good stir and then cook on low for 4-5 hours. Or on high for 2-3 hours.
- I like my masala sauce to be really smooth, so around an hour before serving I spoon out the chicken with a slotted spoon, then using a stick blender, I blitz the sauce and then add the chicken back in before cooking a little longer and adding the yoghurt and garnishing with chopped coriander.

Notes
Note 1: If you don't have a stick blender, you can carefully spoon the curry sauce into a blender or food processor.
Note 2: You don’t have to blitz the sauce smooth - you can serve the chicken curry as is without blending and it will still taste delicious.
