This is seriously our favourite curry in the slow cooker!! It has so much flavour! The spices dont cook out and go bland like I’ve had in the past! Don’t be scared of the list of ingredients, they are mostly pantry staples and it’s so worth it!

This has incredible flavours. I diced & floured my meat & in a separate container mixed the remaining ingredients together the night before to save time in the morning. (I did not add in cardamom or tomato chutney, I didn’t have them in my pantry). It was ready in 5hrs in my 5.5L cooker This will make a great dump bag recipe (I’ll double the recipe & use a full can of milk). I served with broccoli, rice cooked in the remaining coconut milk and a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
This is so delicious. If I want to make a double batch do you just double all ingredients? Making this for a famy dinner.
Hi Shakira, you can definitely double the recipe with the chicken and spices/sauces and use 1 400ml can coconut milk.
Had for dinner tonight was yummy. Served with rice tasted it and added some chilli
I love the simplicity of making this recipe from scratch. The flavours are great. I use extra tomato paste instead of chutney. I’ve made this recipe a number of times. I’ve even put it on & cooked on high for 4 hours. Turns out great every time I make this
This was amazing. I used chicken and can’t wait to do beef. I didn’t have chutney so used extra tomato paste. 5??
Only problem, there were no leftovers
Will make this again. Both Miss 10 and Miss 7 ate it (Miss 7 is very honest and quite fussy). I added a small quantity of chopped carrot and celery, next time I will add more of both of these vegetables as I found that there was lots of sauce. I also adjusted the recipe slightly as I was missing a couple of the spices so Googled alternatives and used those. I also used double the tomato paste but didn’t use the chutney because I had a sachet of tomato paste and didn’t want to waste half of it. Served it with rice and broccoli. Yum!
Had this for dinner tonight, was absolutely delicious even my fussy grandson cleaned his plate. Will definitely make it again
Made this last night it was delicious clean plates all round. Even my fussy grandson cleaned his plate. I added some carrot sticks and served with rice
I made this on Sunday with beef and it was delicious. Mine didn’t look as fancy as this photo ? but it sure had the flavours.
Want to try chicken next time ? just to compare the different meats.
Lovely recipe. Followed the recipe as written but substituted Coconut flour for the plain flour and made it with Chicken thigh cutlets. My husband who isn’t too keen on curry, really liked this recipe. So win win for me ? Will definitely make regularly.
Had this for dinner tonight. It was very tasty, hubby went back for seconds, finished it off. I made it with beef check. Would make it again.
