It  was a crazy Monday morning and I forgot to stir all the ingredients so it didn’t look like the picture and it cooked for 10 hours instead of 8.  However, this Indian influenced recipe was a good and satisfying meal.

I used a crockpot liner to make clean up easier then put chicken and mushrooms into crockpot.

Mixed seasoning, tomatoes, and paste.

Poured mixture over the chicken and mushrooms, covered and cooked on high for 4 hours. I was home today but if I had gone to work I would have set it on low to cook for 8 hours.
