Ingredients
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons garam masala, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
2 cloves garlic, halved
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound red skinned potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 pounds chicken thighs, skin removed (about 8 thighs)
One 5-ounce package baby spinach
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus extra for garnish
Hot cooked jasmine rice, naan bread, chutney and/or Greek yogurt, for serving
Directions
- Combine the vinegar, flour, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon each garam masala and curry powder, garlic, tomatoes with their juices, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender or food processor. Puree until well blended and only slightly chunky.
- Spread the potatoes in the bottom of a 5 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining 1 teaspoon each garam masala and curry powder and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Lay the chicken over the potatoes in a single layer. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours or 6 hours on low.
- Uncover the slow cooker and stir in the baby spinach until wilted. Add the cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve over rice with an additional sprinkle of garam masala and cilantro for garnish, with bread on the side for scooping up the sauce, some chutney and Greek yogurt.
