Instructions
1 Set a medium to large-sized slow cooker to low. Heat oil in a large pan. Add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are clear but not browned. Stir in ginger, curry powder, cumin and coriander. Cook for about 1 more minute.
2 Add chicken to pan over a moderate heat. Tip pan contents into slow cooker. Stir in tomatoes, evaporated milk, tomato paste and garam masala. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
