Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons freshly ground coriander
- 3 teaspoons freshly ground cumin

- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, peeled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Method
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Stir well. Add enough water (4 teaspoons) to form a paste. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sugar, sauté, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, for about 10 minutes. Add crushed garlic and cook for a further 1 minute. Stir in spice mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until toasted.
Step 3
In a blender, combine onion-spice mixture and coconut milk. Blend until onion puréed. Transfer mixture to slow cooker. Add chicken thighs and sweet potatoes and toss well to coat.
Step 4
Cover slow cooker and cook on low-heat setting for 3-4 hours.
Step 5
Just before serving, stir in garam masala, lemon juice and ground almonds. Serve with cooked rice.
