I hope this curry doesn’t offend anyone who has the talent to make authentic Asian food. This is just little old me giving Indian cooking a go!  It  works so well in  a slow cooker. You could use this same  recipe for a sweet potato or chicken curry.

I am all about quickness and in my recipes when I talk about speed, I try and use all the tricks of the trade. Wherever garlic, chilli, ginger, thyme, mint and rosemary are involved  they are without fail chopped frozen packets from @Tesco. People are really funny about cheating for convenience. But these herbs are literally what they say they are, nothing nasty added, it’s just that all the hard work has been taken out of the prep for me!

I love a good Naan with my curry and the mini ones you can get all over the place are great. 

Give the Raita a go too it goes really well.

I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think.
