• 1 onion, sliced
• 6 garlic cloves, chopped
• 4 tbsp light butter spread (I used I can't Believe It's Not Butter Light)
• 15 cardamom pods (put them in cheesecloth and tie with a string so they won’t escape)

1. Put chicken in a large slow cooker, and add onion, garlic, and all of the dry spices.
2. Throw in the butter and tomato paste.
3. Add lemon juice and coconut milk.
4. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4.
5. The chicken should shred easily with 2 forks when fully cooked.
6. Stir in yogurt 15 minutes before serving.
7. Discard cardamom pods.
8. Salt to taste
9. Serve with brown rice, cauli-rice or by itself in a bowl with a nice green salad on the side.
