Steps:

• Use a 5 quart (20 cups) or larger crockpot. Carefully sew together the cardamom pods using a needle and thread.

Plop in the butter and tomato paste. Add lemon juice and coconut milk. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4. The chicken should shred easily with 2 forks when fully cooked.
