One of my favourite Dad-cooked meals is chicken curry. I can never get it just like Dad’s so I don’t try. This is an attempt at something different using a slow cooker.

Recipe
- 4 Chicken thighs (skinless)
- 2 Potatoes (quartered, medium sized)
- ½ Cauliflower (broken into florets)
- 1 cup Frozen peas and corn
- 1 Tomato (diced)
- 500 mL Chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1 dessert spoon Chilli preserve
- 1 tin Green peppercorns
- 270 mL Coconut cream
- 1 packet Microwave rice
-
To the slow cooker, heating vessel, add the chicken, potatoes, tomato, cauliflower, peas and corn plus the chicken stock, curry powder, chilli preserve and green peppercorns.
-
Place the cooking chamber into the slow cooker, seal the lid and set for 6 hours.
-
After the timer goes off, turn off the slow cooker, unseal the lid and open the slow cooker. Remove the cooking chamber and empty the contents into a large wok and bring everything to a simmer to reduce the liquid.
-
When the liquid has reduced add the coconut cream and bring to a simmer and reduce to a creamy consistency.
-
Put the cooked rice into a bowl and add chicken and vegetables from the wok.
-
Store the rest of the curry for another meal.
-
Shoot a photograph and then eat the curry.
-
Wash the dishes and then write the recipe up.
-
Write a blog post and hope your friends on social media share the recipe and make you famous.
This is a pretty easy slow cooker meal, but I can totally understand how you’d like to make this in a pressure cooker or just slowly cook in a large saucepan.
I hope you enjoy making this and eating this.

Frequently asked questions
Is curry better the day after?
Yes, always.
Do you prefer cooking it in a slow cooker or in a pressure cooker?
It depends on how much time is available. I think the slow cooker, provides better flavour.
How much curry can you eat in one sitting?
I reckon I could eat two bowls of rice with half the curry in this recipe.
How will you prepare the leftover curry?
I will reheat it in a saucepan rather than reheat it in the microwave oven.

Mmm…yummy!
I’m a fiend for curry Gary, especially curry with coconut cream! 😀
It’s the best Lorraine 😃
I’ve been looking for more slow-cooker recipes and here you are!! Thanks.
My pleasure
Curry looking good, Gaz. When I saw the photos I was immediately drawn to the golden potatoes 😀 I heard that spicy food is tastes better when the weather is hot…maybe that is true, I don’t know. Generally if I can like when I’m not at work, I’d heat up food over a saucepan. Food and heat consistency better that way in my opinion.
It’s like drinking hot tea in Summer, it’s meant to make you feel cooler.
I agree, I much prefer to slowly heat food in a saucepan over a low heat rather than blasting with microwaves.
I have never heard of drinking hot tea in the summer making you cooler… 😀 Overnight pizza and anything overnight cheesy really is best reheated in a saucepan. Using a microwave usually doesn’t bring out the best flavours.
Now I’m feeling hungry for pizza, but I’ve eaten too much chicken curry and rice 😋😋😋
I’ve eaten dumplings/yum cha for dinner earlier, but would love some spicy chicken right now. The promotional KFC Tobasco sauce chicken sounds good right now to me 😋
You’re tempting me to get out of PJs hop in my car and buy KFC now 😋😃👍
I also want Yum Cha now too 😜
Gaz, there’s a whole new week ahead. Maybe salmon on Mondays, Tuesdays. Later in the week, some KFC and yum cha. All sorted 😃
Mmm… food for thought there.
