Therefore, you may want to make it hotter but I am not sure how that would work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly it doesn\u2019t have to be lamb (which can be pretty expensive). If you do substitute it, for say chicken or beef, then do the same with the stock. This may work with no meat at all &#8211; but I haven\u2019t tried this. We did try it with chicken however and didn&#8217;t find it as nice as the lamb. What I really love about this is that it can make it seem like a whole new meal idea but without having to think too much about what\u2019s involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you Need to Make the Slow Cooker Lamb &amp; Potato Curry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously as the title suggests you are going to need a Slow Cooker. There\u2019s only four of us at home now and therefore we only need to make four good sized meals. Yes even our Sensory Seeker loved this recipe so he wanted a proper adult sized dish too. Saying that our slow cooker is a pretty small one. We actually have two for when the six of us were at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Slow Cooker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knife<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chopping Board<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teaspoon (if you want to be accurate, otherwise just throw a bit in!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lamb-curry.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"slow cooker lamb and potato curry from Bored of Lunch\" class=\"wp-image-30662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lamb-curry.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lamb-curry.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lamb-curry.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients for the Curry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>300g lamb (or alternative)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6 potatoes &#8211; no need to peel first<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 x garlic cloves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 x can of chopped tomatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tbsp tomato pur\u00e9e<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 x can of reduced fat coconut milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tbsp mango chutney<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 lamb stock pot &#8211; made up so so that there is enough fluid to cover all the ingredients  (or alternative)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 x onion or handful of frozen onion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tbsp of cornflour (optional but will thicken the sauce), obviously the water to mix it up with<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Herbs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>1 tsp turmeric<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp cumin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp Garam masala<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tbsp curry powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp ginger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 x bay leaves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fresh mint to garnish (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/herbs.jpg?resize=800%2C464&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"herbs for lamb and potato slow cooker curry\" class=\"wp-image-30660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/herbs.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/herbs.jpg?resize=300%2C174&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/herbs.jpg?resize=768%2C445&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extras<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>You can eat this on its own but we had it with rice. Obviously you can also add in other extras associated with a curry such as Naan bread, onion bhajis, vegetable samosas, and poppadoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make the Slow Cooker Lamb &amp; Potato Curry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Roughly chop the potatoes. We have found that these aren&#8217;t cooked properly so am now advising that they are part cooked first, before adding to the slow cooker. Keep at least some of this water as I believe some of the goodness from the potatoes will make the stock taste better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Throw all the ingredients (apart from the mint) into the slow cooker (make sure the fluid level is such that everything is covered but that it isn&#8217;t too high)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Either cook on high for 4 hours (personally this didn&#8217;t work for us however, the potatoes were still hard and we had to whack it on high for longer. It was fine low and slow). Adjust this if you have pre-cooked lamb\/potatoes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or on low for 8 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garnish with mint (we didn&#8217;t bother)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to Note<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly I was really wary about not browning the meat first. Just trust the process. It was fine. That and not peeling &#8211; I just didn\u2019t need the extra hassle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also be interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/2020\/03\/28\/slow-cooked-bacon-and-green-bean-risotto-with-pesto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Slow Cooked Bacon and Green Bean Risotto with Pesto<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best thing about the slow cooker is that you can literally throw all your ingredients in and leave it.
