PORK TIKKA MASALA

Steps:

• Rice, cooked via package directions I cut each frozen pork chop into 6ish cubes and loaded into the slow cooker along with all the ingredients except for the frozen peas & parsley. I covered and cooked on high for 3 hours and low for 2 1/2 hours. At about the 2 hour low cook mark I removed the solid ingredients to a bowl (except for the already dissolved tomatoes) and placed the pot over the stove. I brought to a simmer and reduced until I had the appropriate amount of sauce, skip this step if your sauce is the consistency & quantity you want. Next I shredded the pork and added all of the ingredients back into the sauce, along with some frozen peas, and kept warm until my rice was done cooking. Lastly I added the chopped parsley and served.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan. Slice the onion and add to the pan. De-seed and chop the chilie, chop ginger and add to the pan. Crush the garlic and add to the pan; cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add chili powder, turmeric, garam masala and sugar; cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add tomato puree and tinned tomatoes; stir and cook for a few minutes.
• Transfer sauce to a food processor and blitz until smooth.
• Add 1 tbsp fresh oil into the pan in which you cooked the sauce and fry the chicken until lightly coloured. Pour the sauce back into the pan and add the curry leaves. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked.
• Stir in the yogurt (I swirl mine through it, rather than mix it in completely)with half of the chopped coriander and serve, garnishing with the remaining coriander.
