Combine and Cook Chicken
Start by mixing the tomatoes, onion, garam masala, garlic, ginger, salt, brown sugar, cumin, and coriander right in the slow cooker until everything is well combined. Then, nestle the chicken thighs into the tomato mixture. Cover and cook on High for about 3 to 4 hours, or if you have more time, set it on Low for 6 to 8 hours. Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, stir in the yogurt and fresh cilantro. Give it a good mix, and it’s ready to serve!

Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish over steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of fresh cucumber raita or a simple salad with lemon wedges can add a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or cream if the sauce has thickened too much. This dish also freezes well—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
