Slow Cooker Chicken Curry

May 31st 2009 02:24
I just love winter and winter foods. I also like Sundays as they are my only day off. I like to get up early and start cooking something in the slow cooker (crockpot) so that the smell permeates through the house for the entire day. It makes the neighbors jealous and they know I must be a good boy. Haha. By dinner time I have something yum and I only need to cook some rice to serve it on. I can then either freeze portions or have portions for work or dinner throughout the coming week.

Today I searched online for a good chicken curry recipe that would be cheap and damn easy to cook. I still have a slight headache from last night's wine - damn you Brooke!! I found the recipe below but decided to alter it to slightly improve on it. The recipe below is a JK original (yay). I hope you like it. If you do not have a slow cooker this could be done on the stove on the lowest heat - I would even recommend using a heat dispersing mat to lower stove temp even further. But to be the yummiest meal and to enjoy endless winter delights I suggest buying a slow cooker. Very affordable and something you can use for years to come.

It is very simple and afforable. I would serve with a bowl of steamed broccoli on the side or a bowl of peas. The cost of this came to $14-. It did help I had all the herbs at home already but that works out to be $3.50 a serve. Most of us can afford that!




Ingredients:

1kg, skinless chicken thigh fillets, cut in 1 inch strips or chunks
2 large onions, quartered and sliced thinly
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce or Tamari
2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon of rock salt - Himilaya is by far the best one
1/2 cup chicken stock

hot cooked rice (to serve)

Preparation:
Mix all ingredients, except rice, together in the slow cooker/Crockpot. Cover and cook on low from 6 to 8 hours, or until chicken is tender. Serve over rice.

Crockpot chicken and rice recipe serves 4.

One thing to note - this contains quite a bit of onion - I would not serve this to my mum as she is not a fan of onions - but if you are then eat away!!! Enjoy

I'm enjoying this already. And the smell has ended up at my place, making me feel even hungrier

Yay!! Glad you like the smell - my house really smells of it now - I have had to open some windows to exaggerate the smell to the neighbors and to stop my cat from pacing
It is so basic Katyzzz - less than 10minutes work (excluding a quick trip to Coles). Thanks for stopping in!

This sounds so tasty - I'm already trying to work out the next opportunity I will have to make this happen!

Unfortunatley, I'm one of those people who are away from home for 9-10 hours a day. I think the crockpot manufacturing people should alter their temperature settings to cater for this - I've tried to set up a few things to cook while I'm at work, but they are always dry and a little charred by the time I get home

Helen - some of the meals I cook require a 10hr cooking time on a low setting - heaps out there. This one has been cooking for about 7.5hrs and will serve it up in an hour. You could get one of those timing things you plug into a wall to turn lights or electrical equipment on and off at a certain time. You could set it to turn the closw cooker on a few hours after you leave for work.

Yum yum, Chicken Curry is one of my favorite dishes, Jason! By the way, the chicken curry will taste even better, if you sprinkle 1/8 cup of lime into it...

I tried it - it burnt It was in for 7 and a half hours - I suspect I have a below-par quality slow-cooker

I was so excited when I got home from work, hungry for yummy chicken curry. I walked in and there is that warm cooking smell, but as I got closerI could smell the burn.

So, to salvage, I tipped the whole lot into a saucepan, and heated it with some coconut milk to give it more of a sauce.

If you ignored the burnt bits, the flavour was good. I'll have to try again after purchase of a Sunbeam branded appliance.

Another way to beat the timing problem is to put meat in while still frozen. Not ideal, but worth a thought

That sux Helen - sorry to hear it. I once had a jam/ bread maker that always burnt bread and nearly burnt the house down. Upgraded to an awesome one and never looked back. You can pick up some awesome deals on slow cookers, especially now heading into end of year financial sales. I hope you get a chance to cook some awesome slow cooked meals soon.

And good tip anonymous!!

Sorry you did not like it anonymous - I would suggest you play around with the flavours - if you like stronger tastes you have to put in more flavouring. Play around with your dishes - mine had a good strong taste - it could simply be the brand of the curry, some weaker, some stronger - why not try two tablespoons of the madras if you want more flavour or more chilli.

For a robust flavoursome slow cooker that is my all time fave suss my article and recipe HERE

Happy cooking!

I just made it with forequarter lamb, added a tin of tomatoes, toned down the chilli for the kids benefit and added a tin of coconut cream and all on the stove for an hour and half low heat (cause I don't own a crock pot) and it was sooo yum! Thanks heaps for posting this one! I used JK's Madras Curry Powder and thats how I found you as that's what I googled!

Thanks Janelle - u just made my day - what great feedback and I totally love your take on it.

I also love that JK's Madras Curry Powder comes through to me My initials are JK and Madras Curry Powder is in the recipe.

I hope others mix it up with their own ideas to get the most out of the meal.

Happy cooking!!!
