Does anyone have a chicken korma recipe for the slow cooker?

Hi - I have had 2 great answers for this question, but both for regular quick cooking - I want an answer for a Slow Cooker - I love mild creamy curries! Any help would be much appreciated! ThanksDoes anyone have a chicken korma recipe for the slow cooker?
Basically follow ingredients in the recipes as prescribed. Leave Chicken to Marinade in the spices and yoghurt or cream in the fridge over night. Brown your chicken on the stove and add all the ingredients into the slow cooker and allow to stew for the day while you're at work. Just make sure you give it enough liquid so it doesn't dry out. You can always thicken the sauce with cornflower at the end if necessary or boil the liquid to reduce to the right consistency.Does anyone have a chicken korma recipe for the slow cooker?

Add the chicken and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, turning chicken occasionally, for 30 minutes. (Don't let the sauce boil, or the curry will curdle.) Stir in the tomato.
