Slow Cooker Chicken Korma

"Can't wait to try this aromatic dish! I love my slow cooker because I can brown the meat in it and then switch to slow cooker mode. Whether or not you have to brown the meat separately or not, this seems to be a very easy, yet flavorful, dish."

  1. We really liked this dish; I omitted the chilies because my curry paste is very hot already. I added 1 tbsp of fish sauce to the dish and used coconut milk instead of cream. Next time I will make it in a regular pot, since the full dish was already combined in the pot. I dont think there will be any difference other than if you dont have the time for the dish to sit 34-60 min on the stove. Chicken breast would also work well.
