Place all ingredients apart from the cream and ground nuts into the Slow Cooker. Mix Well. Cook for 4-6 Hours on Low Heat. You can brown your chicken and onions first if you wish.
You can also cook this on the stove top. Melt butter and oil. Fry onion, garlic, ginger and Nomad Meat Rub until fragrant. Place your tomatoes and other ingredients apart from the cream and nuts and simmer until cooked.
This recipe is suitable to be frozen. Serve with steamed rice and other Indian accompaniments. Such a good way to have simple meals ready for weeknight dinners, Freeze with rice and defrost when wanting to eat.
