Add the onion to the bottom of your slow cooker.Add the chicken right on top of the onion.Pour the tomato sauce over the chicken.

Top the sauce
with garlic, ginger and all of the seasonings: 1 tablespoon of the garam
masala, paprika, turmeric, curry and salt.Gently stir together the sauce with the seasonings.Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 3-4 hours on high (or 6-8 hours on low).
-
Once it is
finished cooking, using tongs remove the chicken thighs from the sauce
and transfer them to a plate or cutting board. Remove the bones from the
chicken and then shred all of the chicken meat. I do this using two
forks and just pull the meat apart.
-
Once the chicken is shredded add it back to the sauce.Stir together the 3/4 cup coconut milk and the remaining teaspoon of garam masala. Pour coconut milk into chicken and sauce.

Serve over rice or with flat bread and top with fresh cilantro.This makes a great freezer meal!
