Ingredients
 

  • 1 kg chicken thighs
  • 2 red onions (chopped)
  • 1 red pepper (chopped)
  • 1 mango (chopped)
  • 1 bulb of garlic (crushed)
  • 1 thumb sized piece of ginger (finely chopped)
  • 1 chicken stock (fresh or store bought pot)
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp medium curry powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 100 ml water
  • 1 lemon (juice only)

Serving suggestions

  • 75 g wholegrain rice with some tenderstem broccoli
  • 1 medium sweet potato with some asparagus
  • 75 g wholewheat pasta with a side of green beans
  • 50 g quinoa, flatbread and mange tout
  • 50 g brown rice along with some crispy potatoes

Garnishing

  • chopped red chilli
  • chopped mixed nuts
  • chopped fresh coriander

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker except the lemon juice and cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4 hours.
  • 40 minutes before the end of cooking, give it a good stir and crack the lid slightly. This will help the curry to thicken up. You could also add another spoonful of peanut butter if you wish but this is optional.
  • At this point you can prepare whatever you are serving with the curry.
  • Just before serving, add the juice of one fresh lemon.
  • One of my favourite ways to serve this meal is with a small portion of brown rice and crispy potatoes. I then top with fresh red chilli, chopped nuts and fresh coriander.
