directions

  • combine the cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and cumin in a mortar or coffee grinder and grind to a fine powder.
  • heat a large saute pan over med-high heat and add the oil. add the onions and saute, stirring frequently, for 10-15 minutes, until browned. add the spice mixture, garlic, ginger, chile, and salt and stir for 3-4 minutes. stir in the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, or until some of the liquid has evaporated.
  • place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the onion mixture over the top. cover and cook on low for 3-8 hours, until the chicken is tender. at 3-4 hours the chicken will still be firm and hold its shape. at 6-8 hours, the meat will be falling off the bone.
