My family loves anything with curry and this slow cooker recipe is at the top of the list. No prep work required, toss everything in the slow cooker and dinner is ready in 7 to 8 hours. Now, that’s what I call a meal.

Where is the print button on this site? Lots of good recipes, but a pain to copy & paste elsewhere.
The “print” button has been restored. 🙂
Hello, I have only had curry a few times and sometimes it is very spicy and other times it is not. Is this recipe mild?
Marissa, It really depends on the curry powder used. For a spicer recipe, use green or red curry and yellow for a milder taste. The yellow contains more turmeric. Green is the spicest, while red is spicy, it’s also a little sweeter. We used yellow when making this recipe. 🙂
Did anyone make this in an Instant Pot?
Has anyone tried adding cauliflower to this? Would I need to add a bit more broth to be able to add a veggie?
Used a mild bush curry. Added some vegetables. Great taste.
Are you suppose to add cilantro in the beginning also? Mine turned really soupy and green and wondering if i was maybe suppose to garnish with cilantro like rhe picture?
Nicole, I updated the recipe and made cilantro optional. It’s actually used just before serving. 🙂
Now I see how my local Curry House makes such a delicious variety of food. This is my next Slow Cooker attempt after the wonderful 6 hour Corned Beef. Thank you so much Gale. Having a nostalgic moment for my long gone Hawkins Pressure Cooker and wondering how long I’d cook this and would it be as tasty pressure cooked? Sydney. Australia.
Hi, I’m sure it would be delicious. Hmmmm…I’m not sure how long it would take in a pressure cooker, but based similar recipes I’ve made in an Instant Pot, about 35 minutes.
Thank you for recipe. Cannot wait to try out curry recipe. Will be adding a hot chilly to it as the whole family young and old love hot curries. will let you informed how things went.
If I double the meat, should I also double tie curry and other ingredients?
Marla, I would double everything else. Here’s my recommendation if doubling the meat:
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 medium sweet onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Kosher or sea salt to taste
1 3/4 cups beef broth or stock, low-sodium
2 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot + 2 tablespoon water, optional
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro, optional
Thank you for your quick reply. Making this tonight.
Easy to prep and cook, but it was bland and tasteless. Followed the recipe exactly.
Rita, I’m so sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe. Overall, those who made the curry loved it!
It wasn’t the prettiest but it was DELICIOUS over rice. Definitely making it again ❤️
