Instructions
 

Madras

  • When there are a little over 3 hours left on the cooking in the slow cooker, prepare the other ingredients (except the bell peppers, which should be added when there are 2 hours left on the slow cooker timer).
  • Peel and cut the carrot into rough pieces. Chop the red chili into smaller pieces and possibly remove the seeds for a less spicy dish.
  • Add the spices, chili and chutney. Again, use an immersion blender so that the chili and chutney are finely distributed and the spices is well mixed with the base.
  • Add the carrot and chicken, stir, put on the lid and then leave for an hour on a low heat.
  • When there are 2 hours left in the cooking, add the bell pepper that has been cut into smaller pieces. Put the lid back on and cook for the last 2 hours.
  • Serve with rice, naan bread and some fresh chopped coriander.

Curry base

  • Peel and finely chop all the vegetables for the base, pour them into the slow cooker. The garlic can be peeled and added whole, the ginger should be finely grated.
  • Add the other ingredients and put the slow cooker on low temperature, 10 hours.
  • When there are about 3 hours left in the slow cooker (the base has cooked for 7 hours), use an immersion blender directly in the slow cooker to mix everything into a smooth sauce.
