Ingredients
- 500g skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
- 1 lemon, juice only
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 200g Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp butter

- Small knob of ginger, peeled and grated

Method
- Mix together the lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, chilli powder and yogurt in a bowl and season well. Add in the chopped chicken thighs and toss to coat. Cover, and chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
- Take a large saucepan and heat the butter. Fry the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger together for around 10 minutes until soft.
- Tip in the rest of the spices, along with the tomato puree and cook for another couple of minutes, then add the stock and the marinated chicken.
- Mix everything together well, then pour into a slow cooker. Cook for 6-7 hours on a low setting until the chicken is cooked and tender.
- Serve with rice, naan breads and top with the toasted almonds.
