Description

I have developed quite a fondness for Indian food over the years but it is one of those cuisines I just didn’t think I was capable of recreating at home until now. Mind you, I am not claiming this recipe is the real deal but it is pretty darn good and you can crockpot it!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Coriander
  • 1 Tablespoon Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 pounds Chicken
  • 1 cup Plain Yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 whole Onion, Diced
  • 1 whole Green Bell Pepper, Diced
  • 5 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 piece (about 2 Inches Long) Ginger Root, Peeled And Grated
  • 1 whole Serrano Pepper, Minced (You Can Use A Jalapeno If You Want Less Heat)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Garam Masala
  • 4 cups Crushed Tomatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar

Preparation

For the chicken: Combine spices and sprinkle over cubed chicken. Coat chicken in the yogurt and let sit while chopping veggies for sauce. Melt butter in a pan over medium high heat or, if you prefer, crank on that broiler. Brown chicken on stove or lightly broil for about 4-5 minutes. Place chicken in crockpot.

For the sauce: Melt butter over medium high heat and saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Then add grated ginger, pepper, salt, and garam masala. Increase the heat and stir in crushed tomatoes and sugar. Simmer for several minutes and pour over chicken. Place lid on crock pot and cook on low for about 5 hours.

Serve over rice and enjoy!
