This curry is super easy to make. It’s a lovely comforting dish that isn’t overly spicy, so even younger ones (or fussier older ones!) should still enjoy.
Just pop all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the afternoon, and let it do its magic so you have dinner time sorted.
Serves 6
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 4 hours, 45 minutes

Method
