Satay Style Slow Cooker Curry

Prep:10minCook:4h

This recipe came from Pinch of Nom Comfort Food Cookbook but when cooked for the first time, the spices did not shine through enough leaving it more of a bland curry, hence upping the spices compared to the original recipe. Frozen ingredients can be used for this recipe to make it even quicker to prepare. The coconut milk mentioned is not the kind in a can. You will find this milk alternative in the milk aisle or cereal section with the long life milk in a carton. This recipe states on Samsung Food approx 500 calories per serving but when put into MyFitnessPal states 320 calories so aim in the middle.

Ingredients

4 servings

400gfrozen diced cooked chicken

1 ½ tspgaram masala

1 ½ tspturmeric

1 tspcumin

300mlCoconut Milk

Dairy Free Milk Alternative

1 Tbsptomato puree

1 Tbsplight soy sauce

1tin chopped tomatoes

1carrot

medium, peeled and diced

3 Tbspsmooth peanut butter

1 Tbspworcestershire sauce

100gspinach

1juice of lime

Instructions

Step 1

If using frozen ingredients, put the chicken and onion in the slow cooker. Add in the spices at this point as well and stir them through to make sure they're evenly distributed.

Step 2

Add all the other ingredients except for the spinach.

Step 3

Stir all of the ingredients together in the slow cooker but don't panic if they don't all mix together well straight away (once cooking, the heat will help them meld together.)

Step 4

Put the slow cooker on low for 4 - 6 hours.

Step 5

20 - 30 minutes before serving, stir through the spinach to allow it to wilt and blend into the curry. (You could also put in other vegetables at this point if you want to bulk it out and add more nutritional value e.g. baby corn, mange tout)

Step 6

Serve with rice (brown rice is healthier) Also bear in mind that adding rice will add more calories to this recipe.
