Ingredients

• 1 can (15 ounces) tomato puree
• 1 small onion, grated
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
• 4 bone-in chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt, plus more for topping
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• chopped cilantro, optional
• Grated lemon zest, optional
• Hot cooked rice

Directions

1. Combine first 12 ingredients in a 3- or 4-quart slow cooker. Add chicken thighs and stir gently to coat. Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until chicken is tender.
2. Preheat broiler. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a broiler-safe baking pan lined with foil. Broil 4-6 inches from heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly charred.
3. Meanwhile, transfer cooking juices from slow cooker to saucepan. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat until slightly thickened, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and gently stir in butter and yogurt. Serve chicken with sauce. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro, lemon zest and additional yogurt. Serve with hot cooked rice.
