Method
- To make this chicken curry, using a mortar and pestle or a food processor, crush or blend the ginger and garlic together to form a paste. Alternatively, finely grate the ginger and crush the garlic and mix them together.
- Grind the almonds in a food processor or finely chop them with a knife. Put the ginger and garlic paste and almonds in a large bowl with the yogurt, chilli powder, cloves, cinnamon, garam masala, cardamom pods, tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt. Blend together with a fork.
- Trim the chicken of any excess fat and cut into fairly large pieces. Add the chicken to the marinade and stir to coat the chicken thoroughly. Cover and marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Combine the chicken mixture with the onion in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 hours then add half the coriander and the cream and cook for a further 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the chicken with rice and garnish with the remaining coriander.
