Instructions

In a big skillet on medium heat, melt the butter and veggie oil. Stir the chicken, onion and garlic in and cook. Keep cooking and stirring until the onion turns soft and see-through, about 10 minutes. Stir in the curry powder, curry paste, tandoori masala, garam masala, and tomato paste. Make sure you keep stirring until it's completely smooth! Pour everything into the slow cooker, and stir in the cardamom pods, coconut milk, and yogurt, as well as your preference of salt.

Let the cooker run on High for 4 to 6 hours, or on Low 6 to 8 hours until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency. Make sure to dump the cardamom pods before you serve the chicken.
