Slow Cooker Chicken Mole Martha Stewart

This tomato based slow cooker chicken curry is delicious and perfect to prepare in the morning and leave to cook throughout the day. Prepared with spices such as paprika and garam masala and cooked in creamy coconut milk and fragrant ginger, it's a great mid-week meal. The curry will be ready after 6hr but can be left for up to 8hr before serving.

This curry can also be made without a slow cooker, see GH Tip.

You can make the sauce the night before (up to the end of step 2) and store in the fridge, ready to put everything in the slow cooker in the morning.

If you enjoy this recipe, you will love our classic beef stew with dumplings. Or, for something a little different, what about coca cola ham or trying to make the famous Ikea meatballs recipe from home?

Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat and fry onions until soft, about 8-10min.
Stir in the garlic, cumin, coriander, garam masala and 1tsp paprika and fry for 1min until aromatic. Add the tomato purée and cook for a further min. Stir in the ginger, tomatoes, coconut milk and sugar.
Transfer onion mixture to the slow cooker and stir in the chicken and some seasoning. Cover with the lid and cook on Low for 6-8hr.
When the chicken is cooked and you're ready to serve, check seasoning and add more paprika to taste, if it needs a touch more spice. Stir in half the coriander, divide between four bowls and sprinkle with remaining coriander. Serve with rice, naan breads and mango chutney, if you like.

GH Tip

If you don't have a slow cooker, simply add the chicken to the pan after step 2. Simmer on the hob for 15-20min until the chicken is cooked. Check the seasoning and serve.
