Loves2cook4six, my crock pot dinner was based on a recipe from Allrecipes.com. Link below. The recipe was not written for crock pot but of course I just cooked the chicken, sauteed the vegetables then put everything in the pot on high for 4 hours (or 8 on low). The recipe has pretty good review rating but I can't rate it myself because I did not follow the instructions 100%.

I pretty much used the spices listed (a bit more of everything because of the extra ingredients I added to my dish). I like to use lots of vegetables in the curry dish; that's one of the few ways I can get my two boys eat vegetables. I also used coconut milk and some fresh coconut meat instead of yogurt. Instead of a can of tomatoes I used tomato paste. Used potatoes to thicken up the sauce and added a pinch of cane sugar to make sweet curry.

I served it on hot steamed rice. Hubby loved the meal and little man liked it, minus the celery (go figure)!

Have fun and hope yours will turn out great!

May I ask why you modified for the SC. It seems like a pretty quick dish to make on the stove top.

What veggies do you like to add? We're working on incorporating more into our diet so any help is great.

I chose to start the crock pot early because I didn't have time to make dinner at dinner time yesterday. I also wanted to cook the veggies (especially potatoes) until very soft - that's how my two boys like it - also the longer the cooking time the better the flavor.

I usually use potatoes (carrot/yam/rutabaga), onion, celery, or any root/stalk type of vegetables in it, depends on what I have on hand. Tomatoes do add good flavor to the curry but you can go without.

If you want to incorporate more veggies cooking in slow cooker I have another idea. I use my crock pot to make lentil soup. I use red lentil because of the brilliant color. I sautee the veggies i.e. onion, parsnip/yam/rutabaga with celery and other veggies I like. Put in crock pot with water/broth/milk/juice (whatever your choice is). My family like a bit of ham in the pot so I put a small chunk of ham with a bay leaf or two, season with salt & pepper. Cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8, until everything is very tender. Then I fish out the bay leafs and ham, puree everything else in a blender. The soup is very creamy and no veggies in sight. Slice the ham and chop up some fresh parsley and place them over a bowl of soup. Drizzle some yogurt or any dressing desired. My husband and little love this dish. I always serve it with some bread or a small salad.
