Fakeaway: Slow Cooker Chicken Bhuna

A rich, comforting fakeaway that brings all the deep, aromatic flavours of a classic chicken bhuna with hardly any effort. Slow cooking allows the spices to fully develop, creating a thick, intensely flavoured sauce that clings to tender pieces of chicken. Served with fragrant turmeric and cardamom rice, it’s a healthier, lower calorie alternative to your favourite takeaway without sacrificing flavour.

Start by preparing the paste. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and coat with low calorie spray. Add the diced onion, garlic and grated ginger, and cook gently for 6-8 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Stir through the tomato puree and cook for a further minute, then remove from the heat and blend into a smooth paste.

Could you make the paste the night before let it cool and it with the chicken and all other ingredients to a dump bag the night before? Or would this all need to be done in the morning. Also any tips for it not drying out if you needed it on for more like 8 hours? Thanks

Hey! 👋 Most of the curry pastes can easily be prepped the night before. You can even blend the onions raw and mix them straight in with the spices and other ingredients ready to dump and go. I don’t always fry the onions beforehand - it just gives a slightly sweeter flavour but leaving everything to sit together overnight still gives a really delicious result. For the chicken, just add it in raw and cook on low. It shouldn’t dry out, although it can become very tender and fall apart when stirred. If you prefer larger chunks of chicken, just stir gently towards the end of cooking 😊 xx
