Slow Cooker Indian Chicken Curry

Slow Cooker Indian Chicken Curry

Our standard comfort food around here is Indian take-out. More often than not, the call is made when it’s almost dinner time and neither of us feels like cooking.

If I could anticipate my laziness, though, I’d make this dish every time. Just throw a few things in the slow cooker and let the smell of the spices warm the whole house.

A half hour before you’re ready to eat, cook up some basmati rice (I love my Zojirushi for this!) and stir in some peas for a low calorie, gluten-free meal. I also like to whip up a quick raita of nonfat yogurt, shredded cucumber, and cilantro.

You’ll notice that I left out the spinach in these pictures – trust me that it’s even better included.

Slow Cooker Indian Chicken Curry

Ingredients

  • 2 tbs red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbs tomato paste
  • 1 tbs garam masala
  • 1-2 tbs Madras curry powder, to taste
  • 2 tbs fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 14.5-oz cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1.5 lb red skinned potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 6 4-oz boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 5-oz baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

Combine the vinegar, tomato paste, 1/2 tbs garam masala, 1/2 tbs curry powder, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes with their juices in a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper and puree until well slightly chunky.

Place the potatoes in a 5 - to 6-quart slow cooker. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tbs garam masala and 1/2 tbs curry powder. Layer the chicken over the potatoes and pour the sauce over the chicken. Cook 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.

Stir in the baby spinach until wilted. Season again with salt, pepper, and additional garam masala and curry, if needed. Garnish with cilantro.

      Try it with chickpeas! I bet it would be delicious and you wouldn’t need to cook it as long.

      Give it a try and let me know how it works!

      Try okra. We’ve done this trick for many years the same chicken curry base just substitute okra.

        I have to give it a try. I’m not sure I’ve ever really had okra – something I need to remedy. I love love the idea of making this fully veggie-based.
