Instructions

Assemble all the necessary ingredients.
In a large skillet, heat butter and vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic; sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent, approximately 10 minutes.
Incorporate tomato paste, curry paste, curry powder, tandoori masala, and garam masala, stirring until the tomato paste is fully dissolved and smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Add cardamom pods, coconut milk, and yogurt; season with salt according to your preference.
Cook on High for 4 to 6 hours, or on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking. Before serving, remove and discard the cardamom pods.
