Recipe Notes
Garam masala is a spice mixture that can be found in many grocery stores or at specialty or ethnic food stores. You can make your own if you can't find it.
Chicken thighs are my favorite in this recipe because they're so tender, but you can use boneless skinless breasts too. You may want to shave 30 minutes or so from the cooking time to prevent the breasts from drying out.

I’ve made it twice now and both times it has turned out great. The blender and slow cooker make cooking so much easier. Thank you!
I’ve had a crockpot for years but never found a recipe that really got me excited about using it. Thank goodness you changed that! Made this yesterday and LOVED it! I added peas and baby onions for some extra veggies. The whole thing was delicious! Thank you for inspiring me!!
Gosh, I love curry, but hardly ever make it at home. This looks right up my ally, serious comfort with a little bit of spice!
This is totally my kind of comfort food!
My slow cooker has held a semi-permanent position on my counter top recently. . i’m loving slow cooker recipes . . can’t wait to try this one!
Love that!! I nearly break my back every time I try to lug the slow cooker out from the bottom cabinet!
Me and the hubs are bonkers for curry, especially anything coconut curry! LOVING that I can put this in the slow cooker and come home to a fab dinner! Pinned!
