NEW TIP

Quick to prep put everything in the slow cooker

So easy put all ingredients in the slow cooker

I added 2 sliced finger chilli's with the ginger and a pinch of asafoetida with the cinnamon

Experiment with side dishes

I made mine with the Garlic Mushroom Biryani - Delicious!

Added a few chopped chillis

My husband likes his curry with a bit of a kick so I fished mine and my sons up then added some chopped chillis.

Really tasty and simple to follow

Getting the prep done before starting to cook is key to keeping it a simple & straightforward recipe. Loads of veggies really help to make this a filling & delicious meal. As the name suggests…

Absolutely phenomenal and succulent.

I don't like courgette so I replace with green beans, what an amazing recipe. I do it in the slow cooker and the chicken just melts in the mouth, absolutely amazed with this recipe thanks PON.

Mostly store cupboard ingredients

Easy to prepare and cook

Very easy to make

I can’t compare to butter chicken as I've never had it before but this dish is a lovely thick and creamy curry. I served with half and half, home made flat bread. So satisfying!
