I bought a slow cooker out of Argos about 3 months ago after hearing good things about them from a mate, and it is by far the best piece of cooking equipment iv ever purchased.
Have cooked loads of stuff in it from melt in your mouth lamb / beef joints for a baked dinner to lancashire hot pot, and i aint had a duff meal out of it yet.
Im abit of a curry fan and thought id try a basic tikka massala in the slowcooker and was fairly happy with the result.
My curry consist's of:
Chicken breast cut into cubes
200 Grams of potatoes diced into 2cm cubes
Chopped tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic - minced
2 onions
300 ml single cream
1/2 Jar of Tikka massala paste
Glug of olive oil
I personally like my curry's very mild, so most people would probably want to add chillies & peppers as well.
Add the tikka paste to the slow cooker with a little water. Add the chicken, onions, potatoes, garlic, chopped tomatoes and a glug of olive oil and give it all a good stir.
Cook for 8 hours on low. 30 mins before serving add the cream and fresh corriander.
While it wasnt perfect and i forgot to get the corriander, overall i was happy enough with it, it needs refining abit with trial and error, but it is worth a try.
If anyones got any decent slow cooker recipes id love to see them posted on here, and for those of you who like a perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth meat joint - get yourself a slowcooker abit sharpish!
