indian slow-cooker goodness 10/10


So here it is, another tasty installment of normal daily cooking at the beach’s. tonight I pulled out the slow cooker for some indian chicken (the asia indian) which smelled delicious all day (I was post call so I got to enjoy the spicey scent while I studied…) all we can say is m-m-good!


Indian-spice braised chicken
from martha's everyday food april 07

list of stuff
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 med onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
2T tomato paste one of the things i like to do is to freeze tomatoe paste whenever i buy a can. it never seems like i use the whole can and i don't use it all that often so i just put it in a tiny tupperware for the next recipe; convenient and easy!
1T grated ginger another cool thing i found is this ginger that comes in a tube. it's great and easy but i usually use more than i would of fresh because it's not quite as strong but WAY easier!
2 garlic cloves, minced
½t ground coriander (+ some)
1/4 t cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 c plain yogurt
1/4c chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 t garam masala
Cooked white brown rice for serving



how to do it
In a 5-6 quart slow cooker, stir together chicken, onion tomatoes tomato paste ginger garlic coriander and cayenne; season with salt and pepper
Cook on high 4 hours (8 on low) until fork tender. Stir in yogurt, cilantro and if using garam masala. Serve with rice

Oven methodPreheat over to 350F. Follow step 1, using a 4 quart lidded heavy pot. Stir in 2 cups water. Cover; bake until tender, about 2 hours. Stir in yogurt, cilantro, and if using , garam masala.



this just came out so good and tasty! it tasted so rich and full even though it wasn't very fatty. the yogurt and spices really brought out the flavors and it was really delish!
