Let’s walk through this incredibly simple slow cooker process:

1. Combine Ingredients:

• In the insert of your slow cooker, combine the bite-sized chicken thigh pieces, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, tomato sauce, coconut milk, garam masala, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Stir Well:

• Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring the chicken pieces are well coated with the spices and submerged in the sauce mixture.

3. Cook:

• Cover the slow cooker securely with the lid.
• Cook on the LOW heat setting for 6-7 hours OR on the HIGH heat setting for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be very tender and cooked through.

4. Finish and Serve:

• Before serving, give the Chicken Tikka Masala a good stir. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning (salt, pepper, or even a pinch more garam masala) if necessary.
• Ladle the hot curry into bowls over cooked basmati rice or alongside warm naan bread.
• Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro just before serving.

A flavorful, aromatic dinner ready with almost zero active cooking time!
