This makes enough for 4-6 servings, and leftovers keep in the fridge for up to a week just microwave before eating. ![]() This entire dish can be made in advance, OR you could prep it on the weekend by cutting up the chicken and measuring the spices, then dumping it all in the slow cooker with the tomatoes in the morning before work or on your lunch break. Cilantro leaves, lime wedges, and sliced cucumber are all really nice for Cold Green Stuff to offset the slow cooked, rich chicken curry. I also used to go to an Indian restaurant in Japan that served every curry with a little bit of shredded cabbage + yogurt dressing, which is really lovely as well. I like this with white rice, but some naan would be delicious with this. If you'd like a lighter curry, which I also love, this chicken and spinach curry is a great, also very delicious option that we make all the time. The recipe won't taste the same with substitutions, so I say go for it. You can of course skimp on those quantities, use half and half, etc, but this is a creamy dish and should be honored as such. The light curry flavors, the tender chicken, little bit of tang from the tomatoes it all just WORKS and is so satisfying in how simple it is to make.īut Lindsay, there is heavy cream and butter in this dish. ![]() Taste the butter chicken, maybe a little more salt? Sure! Probably at least a pinch or two. This gives a last little nudge of glossy creaminess that is NOT TO BE SKIPPED. Put the lid back on the curry and cook for 30-45 minutes more (depending on if you're cooking on high or low at this point) to thicken the chicken curry.Īfter the curry has thickened, stir in the butter because, butter chicken. Then, whisk together the cornstarch and cream - this will thicken the curry into a super yummy gravy consistency.Īdd the cornstarch mixture to the curry and stir it into the chicken mixture. Let the chicken and tomato mixture cook for 3 hours on HIGH or 6 hours on LOW (then let it go to warm if you aren't home). Add the chicken to the slow cooker with salt, sugar, spices, and tomato sauce. One of my main slow cooker recipe rules is that searing is annoying, so I only tested this recipe without searing the chicken first. I find versions at most grocery stores, and it's another heavy-hitting ingredient because it's a lot of spices all in one that save time and money when we use it. Garam Masala is an Indian spice blend that, frankly, makes Indian food taste Indian.If you have Indian chili powder use WAY less, as Indian chili powder is usually really spicy and this is a mild curry. Chili powder comes in so many forms, and for this I used the really basic regular one I use for Mexican food.If you don't have tomato sauce, use any other kind of canned tomatoes and add extra pinches of salt and sugar to be sure the curry is really flavorful. It's an ingredient that takes the place of a few others, and a great one to have in your pantry. Canned tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato puree or similar are OK, but they don't have onion, garlic, salt, and spices like tomato sauce does. You could leave the pieces whole, and they'll shred easily at the end, but I found that cutting the chicken before cooking and NOT shredding it gave a more familiar restaurant Indian chicken texture. Any boneless skinless chicken you have, cut into pieces. Chicken thighs and chicken breasts both work really well here. ![]() The spices added plenty of flavor without fresh aromatics. Chicken curry with only pantry ingredients seemed the way to go. It was absolutely delicious that way, but honestly the difference was so hard to tell in the end that I left it out.
