Chicken curry recipe with yogurt. This is a very odd recipe. Way too much sauce for the quantity of chicken specified - I used four whole chicken breasts and still found it to be too much sauce. Its very very mild.
I used a half tsp of chili powder rather than the 18 tsp of cayenne and could barely taste it buried in 2 cups of yogurt. Chicken breasts simmer in a curry sauce with yogurt tomatoes onion garlic and ginger in this spicy Indian dish. Place spices salt and pepper onion garlic and passata in a slow cooker and stir until well combined.
Add chicken and stir well. Cook on high for 4 hours. About 20 minutes before serving slowly add about 1 cup of hot liquid bit by bit to the whole milk yogurt to slowly warm it up and prevent curdling.
In a heavy pan sauté butter onions and garlic until soft and lightly brown. Add spices and fry 2-3 minutes stirring constantly. Add chicken and brown on all sides.
