Slow Cooked Chicken Tikka Masala
Tikka Masala (specifically using chicken) is thought to have originated in Glasgow! Go figure. The Indian community there apparently riffed on butter chicken and this was the result. Pretty yummy. It is one of the most cooked dishes in the world, coming only second to stir fry. So now that we have all of that out of the way, let's get onto currying in your slow cooker. Literally curry no hurry.
Serve it with any of the dishes we love listed below.
