Add the garam masala and tomato paste. Roast briefly then transfer into a mixing bowl.

Add the coconut milk and the zest and juice of a lemon into the tomato paste mixture. Whisk until evenly combined.

Place the chicken thighs into your crockpot, then pour the coconut milk mixture on top. Stir until incorporated.

Cover, then cook on low for 4½ to 5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, skim off any oils or impurities that float on top. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Garnish with cilantro and serve with flatbreads or steamed rice.
