Product Information

Add plenty of spices. There are a few standard techniques when it comes to preparing a curry; making a paste, making a ‘gravy’ base for the sauce, marinating the meat, and sometimes searing it at a high heat on a stove. How do you impart as much flavour in your slow cooker curries if you don’t do any of these stages? Well, it comes down to your ingredients; you simply need to add more spice and seasoning than you would normally to create a rich curry flavour in the dish.

Adding vegetables to a slow cooker curry can be a great way to provide texture and variation in flavour. However, most vegetables cooked in the slow cooker will release water, resulting in a thinner curry sauce. To balance the extra liquid, simply add an additional half tablespoon of cornflour along with with the vegetables.Just before serving swirl through some double cream and stir well, and the sauce will be a deliciously rich terracotta colour. Top Tips The sauce has a tomato base and is finished with a little double cream to balance the acidity. It’s a gorgeous silky sauce and I usually serve this with homemade naan breads to mop it all up at the end! When I’m developing a recipe for the slow cooker, I always think of myself in the kitchen doing the early morning prep for it. One of my main rules is to avoid ingredients that need to be cooked off in the pan first. The last thing I want to be doing in the morning rush is frying onions at the hob while stirring the porridge pot. Herbs, spices and seasoning. Cumin, paprika, chilli power, cinnamon, garam masala, coriander and bay – all readily available from popular supermarkets if you don’t have them in the cupboard. Florets of cauliflower. Ensure the pieces of cauliflower aren’t cut too small to prevent them from disentegrating during cooking.
