Step 1

Dice your onion and place it into a pan or cast iron pot (with a lid). Add the chicken, chickpeas and ghee/butter, garlic, spices, seasoning, tomato passata and coconut milk. Mix well to combine.

Step 2

Cover and simmer slowly for 90 mins. The sauce/gravy flavour develops beautifully with the long cook time so no need to saute the onion/ spices/ meat first. This throw it in a slow cook approach is my personal preference as the sauce is rich in flavour and the chicken is more melt in you mouth.

Step 3

If you want to cook it faster, saute the onion first, then add the chicken, garlic and spices and stir fry over a low heat until the spices smell aromatic and the chicken is opaque. Add the passata and coconut milk and simmer slowly for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 4

Chop your garlic, 5 seconds, speed 5. Add the onion, chop 5 seconds, speed 4.

Step 5

Add the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the chicken and cook for 40 minutes, 100, reverse speed 1 with the rice basket over the hole in the lid.

Step 6

Add the chicken, and cook for another 20 minutes, 100, reverse speed 1. Use your TMX spatula to stir the chicken through the sauce for even cooking.

Step 7

Once cooked, serve with the coriander leaves over rice or cauliflower rice.

Step 8

10 mins before the end, add in vegetables like diced green beans, broccoli and cauliflower florets and mix through the sauce. Otherwise serve this curry with a side of steamed veggies.

Step 9

Re-heat in a pot over a low heat until just hot.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Step 11

This can certainly cooked in a slow cooker. However, as the speed and temperature varies between the many brands of slow cookers, base the amount of liquid you add and the cook time on a similar style of recipe in the guide book for your specific slow cooker. The general rule of thumb is to halve the liquid and double the cook time, but understanding your own slow cooker is the best guide.
