Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped (or frozen, ready prepared)
- 2 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated (or use ready prepared paste)
- 3 tbsp medium curry powder
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 100 g mango chutney
- 400 ml reduced fat coconut milk
- 1 large onion, peeled and very finely chopped (frozen ready prepared works well)
- 1 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tsp garam masala
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients except the garam masala into the slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to combine the flavors well.
- Slow Cook: Cover with the lid and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for at least 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and falling apart.
- Shred and Season: Gently shred the chicken using two forks. Stir in the garam masala thoroughly so the chicken and sauce are well coated and softened.
- Serve and Garnish: Optionally add extra mango chutney for sweetness and garnish with mint or coriander before serving.
Notes
- The sauce is naturally quite thin which allows the shredded chicken to soak it up nicely.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the coconut milk to 300 ml or thicken after cooking by mixing 1 tbsp cornflour with some sauce and stirring it back into the curry. Heat through to thicken.
- Avoid thickening with cornflour if you plan to reheat or freeze the curry as it will thicken further on reheating.
- Adjust sweetness at the end by adding an extra tablespoon or two of mango chutney if desired.
- Garnish with fresh mint or coriander to add freshness to the dish.
