"East (Asian) meets West (Mexican and Midwest U.S.) in this vegetarian crockpot chili. If yogurt sauce is omitted, the chili suits a vegan diet. If your family has to have meat, brown 1 pound of ground turkey or extra lean ground beef and drain off the fat before adding as the first ingredient to the crock pot."

This was the most interesting chili I have ever had. It had great spicyness plus a lot of extra flavor. I used a little extra Madras curry powder in the chili just for our taste, but the apples really helped to even out the spice. The yogurt sauce is a very nice addition. I used regular yellow curry in that and it added to the blend of flavors nicely. Curry chili was a new for me, and may not be for evereyone, but it is worth a try. I really enjoyed it!
