Notes

- – For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with cauliflower, chickpeas, or a mix of both.
- – If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can uncover the slow cooker for the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- – The yogurt and coconut milk give this curry a creamy texture, but you can substitute heavy cream for a richer flavor.
