Tamarind Chilli Chicken
I have a question about the Tamarind Chilli Chicken. I have bought the tamarind from tesco, its says it is Tamarind fruit pulp. The packet says to dissolve it in boiling water, strain the pulp & seeds using a sieve then use the liquor in cooking.
So I need to do all this or just cut off the amount i need from the block and add it to the recipe??
The slow cooker needs to go on by midday, so a reply by then would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I made this and I thought it was lovely.
Chucked in some frozen spinach, quorn pieces, chopped up carrot, onion and sweet potato. A tin of blitz tomatoes, 2 tbsps curry powder and sliced some potatoe slices on the top and just left it on high to cook. It was a bit like sag aloo - and served it with boiled rice and tasted delicious and didnt need watching.

I want to make spag bol in the slow cooker. Would i need to brown the mince off before i stick it in with all the other stuff?
Was planning on putting in onions, mushrooms peppers and garlic along with two tins of toms? Would this be ok?

2tsp lazy ginger
2 tsp lazy garlic
1 tsp lazy chilli
1 tsp paprika
ground black pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garam masala
2 onions
slices/chunks chicken
chicken bovril
1 can chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp very low fat yoghurt(I like total 0%)
dry fry the onions until soft lightly browned.
Add all the spices and fry for 2 mins.
Add chicken bovril in 3/4 pint water
Add the chicken and cook for 2 - 3 mins
Add the tomatoes (whizzed until smooth)
Transfer to slow cooker.You could just throw it all in from the start but I find it tastes better this way.
Cook on high for 30 mins then turn down to low.
Depending on cooker usually ready after about 4-5 hrs.
If too thin remove lid and turn up heat until sauce thickens.When ready stir in yoghurt.You could leave it cook for while tom warm yoghurt but I usually find its ok. Taste it first to make sure.
Ive adapted this from other recipes on the site. If it tastes a bit bitter add a afew sweeteners to the sauce.
