Chicken Tikka Masala and Chocolate Filled Brioche
Jun 14th, 2009 by Dani
A while back I compiled a document full of slow cooker recipes from a variety of sources. Unfortunately, I didn’t note the original sources. Which was not very bright of me. I think they largely came from cooking forums. Tonight’s meal was an adaptation of one of those recipes and it is absolutely superb. We will definitely be having this one again. I prepared this yesterday and left it in the fridge overnight.
Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala
1 tsp garam masala
2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 tablespoons tandoori spice
1 chicken, jointed
1 tsp rice bran oil
1/8 cup butter, melted
2 cm piece ginger
4 cloves garlic
1 onion
1/2 cup raw cashew nuts
3/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock
140g tomato paste
3/4 cup yogurt
1/4 cup cream
seasoning
1. Dry roast spice until aromatic in thermomix (2 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 1), or in a frypan. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Place onion, ginger and garlic to thermomix or food processor and grind to a paste (approx 30 seconds on speed 6 in thermomix).
3. Heat oil in a fry pan and sear chicken on both sides. Place in the slow cooker.
4. Add butter, the toasted spice, cashews, onion paste, stock, tomato paste, yoghurt and cream. Stir to combine.
5. Cook for 6 - 8 hours on low. Serve on rice.
I also whipped up a chocolate ganache filled brioche from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes. I’m going to have to work very hard at gym this week.
That looks so bloody amazing Dani! I want to curl up beside it and just nibble until it’s All Gone. Think I would need more than the gym afterwards.
I’ve been eyeing up that Artisan Bread in 5 minutes…I keep reading very good things about it. Do you recommend it?

Not sure which one you mean Docwitch but the chicken tikka was the most beloved of the two. We just about fought over the scraps like snarling dogs. Might have to use 2 cooks next time.
You sure do love your Dog mate.. I can see that

I love your recipes, I have recently purchased a thermomix and I’m having delightfully fun time experiementing with it - this recipe is sure to convince hubby the purchase price was worth it! Can you please let me know how to cook it in the thermomix instead of the slow cooker - THANKS!
