Directions

	Assembly:: Place chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder, and garam masala in 5 quart slow-cooker. Toss all together to coat. Cover.

	Cook:: Cook on low setting for about 8 hours until chicken is fork tender. Do not uncover while cooking. * Main cooking can be done on HIGH setting for 4 hours *

	Finish:: Uncover and shred chicken with forks. Stir in coconut milk, peas, and golden raisins. Cover. Cook until peas are heated through; about 20 minutes.

	Serve:: Serve over basmati rice. Garnish with cashews and cilantro leaves, if desired. Goes great with naan.
