Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup tomato passata
  • 2 cans (15 ounce each) canned chickpeas
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 cup double cream
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. Combine the tomato passata, drained chickpeas, garlic, ginger, salt, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, and garam masala in a slow cooker. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

2. Dot the top of the mixture with slices of salted butter.

3. Cook the curry on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chickpeas to become tender and infused with the spices.

4. Just before serving, stir in the double cream to create a rich and creamy texture.

5. Garnish the Slow Cooker Butter Chickpea Curry with fresh lemon wedges and chopped cilantro, adding a bright and herbaceous touch.

Notes

Adjust the spice level to your personal preference by adding more or less of the spice blend.

For the best texture, avoid overcooking the chickpeas. The slow cooker method should result in tender, yet intact, chickpeas.

Store any leftover curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.

Freeze the curry in individual portions for a quick and convenient meal option. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
