Creating Slow Cooker Chicken Korma is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: In a large bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
2. Sauté Onion: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Combine Ingredients: In the slow cooker, combine the sautéed onion mixture, chicken pieces, coconut milk, yogurt, korma curry paste, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder (if using).
5. Stir Well: Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well coated with the spices and sauces.
6. Set Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
7. Check for Doneness: About 30 minutes before serving, check the chicken for tenderness. It should be cooked through and easily shredded with a fork.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the korma and adjust seasoning with more salt or spices as needed.
9. Garnish: Once done, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top for a burst of color and flavor.
10. Serve: Serve the korma hot over cooked basmati rice or with warm naan.
