Prepare the slow cooker for butter chicken.

Chop onions, garlic, and ginger.

Grate ginger using a microplane, including the skin for added flavor.

Heat a frying pan and add a knob of butter and a splash of oil to prevent burning.

Add chopped onions, garlic, and grated ginger to the pan and season with sea salt and black pepper.

Sauté the mixture until the onions soften.

Add spices (garam masala, cumin, cardamom, coriander) to the pan and toast for about a minute to bring out their flavors.

Deglaze the pan with a little water to lift the spices stuck to the bottom.

Transfer the onion and spice mixture to the slow cooker.

Add chicken thighs (skinless and boneless) to the slow cooker.

Pour in the coconut milk and tomato passata.

Stir to combine all ingredients in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is tender.
