Given as a wedding present nearly ten years ago, my slow-cooker hasn’t seen nearly enough use. I tend to reach for my cherry red Le Creuset French oven for braising and stewing. However, as our family is growing and appetites are expanding, I can see the practical side of having a large crock pot and keeping it busy.
Still, I could use some help. I’m no seasoned slow-cooker chef, and can count my fails up there with my winning dishes. That is one reason why I was happy to have Kelsey contact me to participate in her week-long Slow-Cooker Challenge.
January is the perfect month to give that slow-cooker a permanent place on the counter top and our challenge is sure to fuel you with plenty of inspiration. Don’t own a crock pot yet? Both The Naptime Chef and my friends at Big Girls, Small Kitchen are giving one away this week! So hurry over and enter.
Chicken and vegetables in the slow-cooker is pretty predictable, I admit, but thanks to a fragrant spice blend and a good dose of aromatics such as ginger root and garlic, this dish sings with flavor. It’s mellowed out with rich coconut milk and served over steamed rice; comfort food at its finest.
Note: This dish is not overly spicy as I serve it up to my kids. If you’d like a little more kick, double the ginger and add a 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes.
Slow Cooker Coconut Ginger Chicken & Vegetables
Serve this creamy and fragrant stew over Jasmine or brown rice. I like to top mine with a few chopped scallions.

Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic peeled
- 2 inch cube ginger about 30 grams, roughly chopped
- 1 small sweet onion peeled, quartered
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into four
- 2 cans coconut milk not shaken
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 can baby corn cobs
- 1 cup peas or frozen vegetables of your choice
For the spice blend
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground tumeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Combine ingredients from the spice blend together and set aside.
In a mini food processor, combine garlic, ginger and onion and pulse until it forms a paste.
In the bottom of a slow-cooker placed on a burner (see IMPORTANT note below), heat olive oil and melt butter. Add pureed aromatics and stir well. Cook for a few minutes, then add spice blend. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Move aromatics to one side of the pot and add chicken pieces to the pot. Cook chicken slightly on all sides, using a sturdy wooden spoon to move it around the pot. It should get thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.
Open the cans of coconut milk and remove the cream from the top using a soup spoon. You should have about 1 cup. Pour the coconut milk over the chicken and with both cans, it should just barely cover the chicken.
Drain the corn cobs and chop in half. Add to the slow-cooker.
Place the slow cooker in the base and cook on low for 4 hours.
Whisk cornstarch with coconut cream until smooth and add to the chicken. Stir well. Add frozen peas or other vegetables of your choice. Cook for another half an hour or until you deem the chicken cooked and the vegetables hot.
Notes
You can certainly use boneless, skinless chicken breasts in place of the thighs, but I prefer the dark meat and find it to have more flavour than the breast. It’s more affordable, too!
In the recipe I call for peas, but you can use any cooked or frozen vegetables you have on hand. In the version photographed above I tossed in a bag of my homemade stir fry packages of vegetables, which worked perfectly with the dish.
My slow cooker bowl can be used on a burner which can then be transferred to its electric base to cook further, but if you have a different type, then simply prepare the first few steps of this recipe in a heavy bottomed pot or skillet and transfer the ingredients to the slow cooker when the liquids are added. If not, you will likely break your bowl, and cause a big mess.
Finally, this dish is not overly spicy as I serve it up to my kids. If you'd like a little more kick, double the ginger and add a 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes.

I halved the coconut milk, and doubled the veggies (snap peas, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, baby corn, bell peppers). It’s bubbling away in my slow cooker right now, smelling like heaven!Reply
Do you replace the halved coconut milk with any other liquid?
Reply
this recipe is amazing
Reply
Where did the “coconut cream” come from?
Reply
The “coconut cream” is what you skimmed from the top of the two cans of coconut milk in step 5.
Reply
you should bave said remove cream to set aside. i dumped in the sink then kept reading two steps later
Reply
Exactly, I was so pissed. Very unclear directions. I also thought it meant you would have 1 cup of coconut milk after skimming. It actually meant the cream that was to be saved. Grrr…
Reply
This is exactly why you should always read a recipe all the way through before you start. Next time you’ll know.
Reply
Lol damn Mira that was cold
I JUST did the same thing. The instructions were not cleat AT ALL! I thought it was weird that I would be throwing out half of the milk so I poured it in the crock pot. Hopefully I will be able to just remove most of it after cooking, wisk in the starch, and then add it to the chicken.Reply
^^your life is so hard !
This was a pretty good meal. My crockpot insert isn’t stovetop-safe, so I had to do the first half in a large saucepan, which made this messier than most crockpot meals that I make. I was surprised at how mild it tasted, considering the amount of spices and aromatics – it was great for the baby, but my husband and I usually like a more intense flavor.Reply
Agreed. Too mild. Making it again and adding some chili paste to it.
Reply
What do you do with all the leftover coconut cream? I’m cooking this right now, looks like it’ll be wonderful!
Reply
I love adding it to smoothies! Or our morning oatmeal. 🙂
Reply
Aimee, I accidentally added the cream and cornstarch in the beginning instead of after the 4 hrs…will this ruin my dish?
Reply
The directions tell you to mix it with cornstarch and add to the chicken!
Reply
This was THE most amazing dinner I have ever made!
I made a few adjustments based on other comments and the fact that I don’t have a slow cooker or crockpot. Here’s what I did differently.1) Doubled the quantity of all spices
2) Added 2 teaspoons of curry powder
3) Cut chicken into cubes
4) Slightly cooked cubed chicken on stove top with a dash of olive oil, before I added it to the spices (see step 4).
5) I didn’t understand the “coconut cream” reference in the recipe (see step 8), because the directions didn’t say to set the thick top part of the coconut milk, the cream, aside (so of course I dumped it down the drain). Nothing was lost by not including the cream or corn starch.
6) Ditched the baby corns- these freak me out!
6) I used frozen store brand stir-fry veggies (included sweet pea pods, carrots, water chestnuts, and broccoli) and cooked them up with coconut oil (just to add more coconut flavor).
7) Because I don’t have a slow-cooker or crock pot, I performed steps 3-6 on the stove top, over med heat. Once all of my ingredients were added, for step 7 I placed the large pot with lid into the oven on 250 for about an hour. After an hour, I checked on the chicken and found it was cooked perfectly! Very tender and lots of flavor. I then removed the pot from the oven, placed it on the stove top and kept it covered. I wasn’t serving dinner for another couple of hours. About 10 minutes before I wanted to serve it up, I heated up the frozen veggies and simultaneously re-heated the chicken and sauce. Finally, I added the veggies to the pot, mixed, and poured over hot white rice.
Final thing to note, this dinner made an even better lunch the next day!
I highly recommend this recipe 🙂 Happy cooking!

This was awesome! It makes a ton!

This will be a go to recipe. I added 2 tsp curry and a chopped jalapeño for extra kick. We like it spicy so I may do two peppers next time. Used peppers (jalapeño and bell) and zucchini from the garden plus the snow peas and broccoli from the store. It turned out great!
Reply
I love how you just filled this right up with vegetables. Sounds amazing!
Reply
I make this recipe all the time because it is awesome, my husband loves it, the kids eat it, etc. My slow-cooker doesn’t go on the stovetop, so I just do the whole thing on the stove in a dutch oven. Sometimes it cooks on low for several hours, sometimes only an hour, but tastes great every time. It is slightly better when you cook it longer though. As far as ingredients- cook it just like the recipe says! It is great!Reply
Thanks for commenting! Your Dutch oven idea is super smart.
Reply
When I saw the great looking photo for this recipe I thought it must have curry in it. Needless to say I followed the suggestion to add 2 tsp of curry. Our household also likes loads of flavor so I (again) followed the suggestion to double the spices (I did NOT double the salt or black pepper though). The only cookware I use anymore is cast iron. Rather than use a crockpot I used my dutch oven. My husband grilled the chicken breasts separately (he grills a batch and then you can use what you need and refrigerate the rest for later in the week). I used the food processor for the garlic & ginger but NOT the onion. I used my food processor to chop onions before and ended up ruining an entire batch of soup. It extracted too much juice out of the onion and made it over powering. I merely hand chopped the onions. Because the chicken breasts were fully cooked I could simmer a much shorter time (while my rice steamed 45 minutes). I used 2 bags of Birdseye stir fry vegetables. Next time I will take the authors suggestion and double the ginger and add pepper flakes for more kick. The added curry was perfect! When I served this over rice I also served each person a small bowl of green grapes to be eaten with the meal. The grapes are a perfect sweet/tart complimentary flavor to the spices (IMO). FYI I used 1 chicken breast per person and then added 1 extra. The chicken breasts I used weren’t terribly large. All in all I probably simmered this for around an hour. I realize this was designed for a slow cooker but for others out there that don’t have one I hope this helps. I found many of the suggestions here to be quite helpful. I rated this 4 stars because of the extra tweaking I did. It’s a great basic recipe that has room for a bit of tinkering if you so desire. Lots of good flavor, protein & vegetables too. I will be making this again.Reply
Forgot to mention (for us) it yielded 5 adult sized servings.
I suggest editing step #5. It should specify to reserve the cream! I’m not going to get a true tasting of this dish tonight since I dumped mine down the drain while cleaning up from cooking. 🙁

What size coconut milk cans? The standard 14.5oz or the smaller 5.5ish oz ones?
Reply
Have the same question. I used the 14.5oz cans and have a LOT of liquid. Guessing the 5.5ish oz cans are what was expected.
Reply
She did say that there should be about 1 cup of the milk. She didn’t specify whether to use the liquid part or the solid part, but I’m assuming the solids is what she meant. That would be where the most flavor and creaminess is.
Reply
This sounds amazing! Do you think I could do it in a rice cooker?
Reply
I linked to this in my March Real Food Monthly Meal Plan post. I expect this will have lovely flavors and look forward to it.

I have a question about this recipe? A friend had a new baby and we would like to bring her dinner and I was thinking of serving this. I would like to if possible cook it at home and then either reheat it or bring it over partially cooked and then finish cooking it there. Do you have any recommendations?
Reply
I would cook it fully and then reheat. The flavours are even better on the second day.
Reply
I really love this recipe ! Although if you are not a garlic and cream fan, I use to put black pepper – just enough to feel it and not too much to burn your mouth – and add a little more of coconut milk and Italian cheese like parmiggiano reggiano. This a perfect meal to gather with your friends and family.

I’d like to adapt this recipe to make it vegetarian–do you think chick peas or edamame would work instead of chicken? Looks yummy!
Reply
I cooked tofu in place of the chicken!
Reply
So the way the instructions are worded in this recipe are a little confusing. To get coconut cream I chill my cans the night before. The clear liquid at the bottom I rarely use, so calling it coconut milk vs coconut cream is confusing. Also two of the regular size coconut milk cans are waaay to much liquid. I ended up with a lot of liquid, and not much else. Each step would be better spaced out with annotations beside them to clear up confusion. Also, much more spices are needed, I couldn’t taste anything and I am not a spice person. 🙁Reply
People-ALWAYS read a recipe all the way through before you start. That’s Home Ec 101. I thought this recipe was absolutely delicious, though I doubled the amount of veggies (peas and edamame) I put in and added a red bell pepper and a hot pepper. Thanks for the recipe!!!

So, I tried this recipe today. After reading the comments, I made the following modifications:– Chopped onion, garlic and ginger instead of pureeing them.
– I used boneless skinless chicken breasts
– Used light coconut milk; just one can
– Doubled spice mixture and added a teaspoon of chili flakes
– For veggies, I used a small head of cauliflower, three carrots, a red pepper and frozen peas. I put the fresh veggies in with an hour left to go
– I also had to use an extra tablespoon of cornstarch mixed in with the coconut cream.So, it turned out pretty good, but it’s a little too peppery for my taste. I would probably omit pepper completely from the spice mix if I made this in the future. I’ll be adding yogurt to it to tone down the pepper flavour a bit. I also find the sweetness of the coconut milk to be lacking. I think with a little tweaking, the recipe will be really good.
Reply
This was really good! I did tweak it a little. I used a bigger onion and pureed half with extra garlic and ginger and thinly sliced the other half and cooked it longer in the butter and oil with a Serrano pepper. I cook a lot of Indian and use these same spices… So, I did double Coriander, cumin, Turmeric and added Garam Masala and chili powder. I let the chicken and coconut milk mixture reduce some before I added the vegetables and cream. It had such a nice, smooth taste. Thanks for a great new meal idea!Reply
May I ask how much garam masala you used?
Thanks!!
Reply
This had absolutely no flavor to it. Now that I’m looking more closely at the reviews, the only people who seemed to like it were the ones who doubled or added extra spices. I even tried the recipe three days later and it was still as bland as day 1. I’d never make this again.Reply
Thanks so much for the great recipe. One very minor suggestion, mention above that you should save the coconut cream for later. Thankfully I saved it, but it was only by chance.Reply
This was great. I also doubled the spices except salt, and added curry powder. I added lemongrass to the onion mixture in the food processor. Also added Thai basil. Used tons of peppers and other veggies. Didn’t bother with the corn starch. Served it over ginger infused rice. The flavors were fantastic.Reply
How much of the reserved coconut cream do you mix with the cornstarch? Reading the recipe, you would think you use ALL of it which can’t be right. That would be an incredible amount of fat!
Reply
This was totally bland and tasteless.Reply
Thanks for a great dinner that my husband, myself, and my boys (age 5 & 1) really enjoyed! I did double the spices as reviewers suggested and used one 14.5 can of coconut milk. It was delicious!
Reply
the basic ingredients of this meal will result in a fantastic taste. For those who find it too bland, the answer is simple……change the amount of spices as you would in any Indian dish…..make it to your own taste. My wife and I are very fond of Indian food and found that this recipe produces a wonderfully aromatic dish. One complaint….we are trying to diet and this dish is very difficult to stop eating. Thank you so much for the recipe.Reply
Your recipe says a can of coconut milk. What size can is this. I am Australian and there are many different sizes of cans where I live. Thanks heaps.
Reply
okay . . . see where someone else says the size can they used . . . so I’ve got it. Can’t wait to try this recipe . . . love coconut, love ginger and love curry . . . it’s got to be good.
Reply
This recipe was easy to follow. I actually just set the crock pot on to mix the aromatics and spices and it worked great. It cooked through and smelled delicious. However, we didn’t love the taste of this recipe though. It was much too mild. It didn’t have the deep flavors and spice that we’re used to in curry-type dishes.Reply
We just had this tonight and really enjoyed it! I subbed half a chopped diakon for the baby corn since I’m not a fan. It retained some crunch, but took on the flavors. Yum! We also added a little chili spice to ours individually. The coconut milk I used was by So Delicious in those cartons instead of cans. I opened them up to see if the milk separated, but it does not. I just put one in with the chicken at the beginning, and my husband whipped up the rest with the cornstarch at the end. Will definitely make again, and maybe try some of the spice suggestions. Thanks!!!Reply
First, I must thank you for taking the time to post this. I have been looking for some great crockpot recipes. Plus I really like Indonesian food, which this recipe seems to be inspired from.As a man in his early 50s who is still living like a college student and always short of money, and also now concerned about health, it is of utmost importance that I start cooking more at home. Problem is, I really don’t have an adequate kitchen, or space for storage although I do have some great equipment, including crock pots and iron skillets!
This recipe is similar to many of those great old go-to’s —very much like southern cooking. It is a mistake to just follow any one recipe to the letter. It’s all about individual tastes and cooking skill. That is probably why so many posters here had issue with their final products.
Because I don’t have a fully stocked pantry with loads of spices lying around, I had to figure the cheapest and most convenient way to prepare this. I actually did all my shopping at my local Walmart grocery. I was able to buy organic chicken parts, frozen veggies…even the baby corn (which I love!) they had there in cans.
In lieu of all the spices recommended, I purchased a couple of pouches of asian “simmering sauce”, one in mango/ginger and one in a chili base. I used a small amount of these in the prepping of the aromatics and then more during the stewing of the chicken. And only to taste! There was plenty left over that went into the fridge for further use.
I was also a little confused about the “coconut cream skimming” and the use of the actual milk. I just guessed the cream/cornstarch toward the end is primarily for thickening. I actually prefer my broth to be a little thinner. However, as I write, everything is almost done and smells divine! The meat is falling off the bones.
In the future I do plan to be a bit more conscious of the actual caloric content and the source of the ingredients. For those watching fat and salt consumption, this recipe can be overindulgent if not careful. Also I need to find a source of canned coconut milk (and the baby corn) that is free of BPA chemicals in the lining of the can (which is one reason I never eat from cans). I would imagine the cream is not found in a cartoned milk? Walmart actually had two brands, one from Thailand and one from India, I believe.
As far as that extra cream? I jarred and refrigerated it for use in my oatmeal and teas. Coconut oil is a great supplement for those with chronic pain…..
(use of those pre made spice liquids did result in a slightly darker stew, probably because of the chili base…but I certainly don’t mind!)

Yummy recipe I think I am going to replace the olive oil for this oil http://www.tiana-coconut.com/products/coconut-oil/ do you think it can work?Reply
Can you use lite coconut milk instead of full fat? I don’t use a lot of coconut milk, so I don’t know how the two compare. Thanks!

WARNING: Heating the crockpot insert directly on the burner cracked my pot.
Reply
Most crockpots are ceramic and not meant to be used on a burner directly – that’s why you start in a normal pot and transfer everything to the slow cooker once the chicken is started. Did you have a special crockpot, or did a ceramic version crack?
Reply
I just made this with “fake chicken” because I’m vegetarian and it turned out really well. However, my curry sauce wasn’t green like in the picture. It’s not a big deal. But I am perplexed by it…lol
I definitely would suggest doubling the spice blend and adding curry powder to it. I also added cayenne powder for an extra kick.
Reply
I wish I would have doubled the spices and aromatics! I am so disappointed! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out with absolutely no taste! Such a huge waste! DOUBLE THE SPICES or you will end up with a bland dish! So upset!Reply
Going to cook this today along with homemade onion bhajis and and a rice dish. then feet up and watch the dancing. to everyone who dumped the cream read the recipe and method through before starting.
Reply
Folks, one of the reasons you read a recipe all the way through before making a dish is to discover the little directions that make each recipe unique. Also, part of being a cook is TASTING a dish and deciding whether or not to ADD more spices to YOUR taste! I have not made this dish, but I can already see that it has good BONES. And speaking of bones. I seldom use boneless meats in the slow cooker or any recipe that is long cooked. BECAUSE the calcium and gelatin that bones give you is so much better for your health without adding supplements. And the best bonus besides your health is that the TASTE is enhanced. Thigh bones and breast bones are very easy to remove after they have cooked, the same with beef and pork bones. I will rate this recipe a 5 even through I have not used it because I can see it will be one of my favorite “soup” type recipes for the slow cooker!Reply
where it said “tsp” for ea spice, i actually did a Tbs…per recommendations, i added curry & garam masala…i also doubled the garlic & ginger, and added 5 thai chilis. the chix thighs, once quartered, yielded 4 cups of raw meat, so i needed to add chix stock to the coconut milk to increase the liquid. thankfully, i did read the warning about not using the crock pot on the stove, so i ended up doing it in a dutch oven then tranferring it to the slow cooker. i did fresh vegies and 2 granny smith apples, adding them all 1 hour before finish time! AH-MAY-ZING!!!!!Reply
I’m just now making this on my stove top and am sure it will be excellent. A WARNING: I “googled” and found what I thought was my All-Clad slow cooker on Williams Sonoma web that indicated I could use it on a stove top. I found another site that said the same. Now I have a large crack in the insert and am totally upset that I will have to replace it.. if I can even buy the insert separately. A great recipe, but make sure you can use your slow cooker insert on your stove top. Please know that this is not at all Aimee’s error.. it’s entirely my own, but I wanted to give a heads up to any other readers trying this recipe.Reply
Made this for dinner tonight! This was crazy pants delish, people!!! So here are my teaks:1) Doubled all the spices, like others suggested said. Now having eaten the food, I can see why they suggested it. Mine came out super flavorful, with that deep richness I think we all expected with this dish. If I had used half the spices, it would have been kinda weak.
2) I added extra spices:
– 1/4 tsp ground cloves
– 1/2 tsp ground yellow mustard
-1 tsp ground ginger (to kick it up a notch!! BAM!!)3) I marinated the chicken in the dry spices for few hours (2 maybe? Could have been 3…).
4) I used two cans of coconut milk, the 14.5 oz size, and I just dumped them in cream and all. We (as in myself and the fam) love a saucy dish!! I plan to freeze the extra sauce to use later (use as topper for some veggies or rice on a lazy weeknight, maybe? Or, with a dash of citrus juice, it could be a marinade for some chicken headed for the grill? Possibilities are endless!!) .
5) I made mine in the oven (1 hour at 275). I just couldn’t be bothered today to dig out my crock pot. Plus, I had to start the whole meal in my dutch oven anyway, so I used another person’s suggestion and just put it in the oven when I was done on the stove top. Easy peasy!!
6)In addition to the baby corn, I used a bag of frozen, store brand, stir fry veggie mix for my veggies, plus 2 ginormous red potatoes I had just sitting around. Next time around, I think some water chestnuts, hearts of palm, or some bamboo shoots would also be really amazing additions.
Thank you so much Aimee for this wonderful recipe!! It was the highlight of our week!!
P.S. For anyone with little kids, my dish came out on the slightly sweet and definitely savory side. Neither my kids, nor myself, tolerates (spicy) heat in our food very well. My kids gobbled this up and even asked for seconds!! Because of the mustard, mine came out very yellow, which my kiddos thought was hilarious, but still made them nervous. After coaxing them to take a bite, they ate the rest without complaint!! If you’re worried at all about the ginger, don’t. It’s very mild and not “sharp” at all in this dish!
Thanks again Aimee!! Can’t wait for another chance to make this amazing meal!!!

This was so bland and flavorless. I had such high hopes for it. Take everyone’s suggestion and double the spices and add a little sugar and garaham masala.Reply
I was so eager to try this flavor profile and was incredibly disappointed. I followed it exactly the the ginger, while I love the flavor, was SO overpowering to everything else (which the seasoning amounts were so trivial for so much soup) I couldn’t stomach it. After doing my own thing by adding additional pepper, salt, seasoned salt, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, additional tumeric and cordiander I was still being attacked by fresh ginger. Yes, fresh is VERY strong. Understandably. However I used a piece the size as suggested.Thankfully Google became my friend and I ended up adding 5 tsp of white sugar to tone it down and half of a small tub of sour cream and it finally became palatable without you wanting to smack your momma! I still didn’t eat it as it wasn’t my favorite flavor profile (I think I will stick to my Latin flavors and not wander again), but my co-workers enjoyed my end result concoction with a brown rice and white rice blend. I was bummed to have spent the cash on all the items I needed for the recipe, but at least it didn’t go in the trash and to waste.
Reply
Your frustration is so Right ON! I spent half a day jumping through the hoops expecting this to be an awesome dish. It was a SNOOZE. I doubled the ginger, added the extra red pepper flakes-NA and DAH.
This is just fine for the Betty Crocker fan club, but not for those of us who actually know what Thai cuisine is like, have been there and ‘trusted’ this simple recipe. Double the spice blend, more garlic, more red pepper or better, Mongolian Fire sauce, and half the coconut milk. Use bland chicken stock and maybe, just maybe all those great spices that we watched closely for 23 damn minutes will actually find their way into the final dish.Reply
I wonder if some of the complaints about flavor with the confusion about coconut milk. I read all of the instructions a couple of times, but I’m still kind of baffled about how much milk and how much cream you are going to use. I used a 13.5 ounce cans, and about 90% of it was cream. Maybe if you could recommend how many ounces to buy total, and then give a measurement in the recipe that would be helpful? Anyway, I decided to wing it and we’ll see what happens!

I’m a terrible cook and have a very fussy other half – we loved this!! He raved about it (quite an achievement). Based on what i had in the cupboard and feeling adventutous, I used… three onions….two fresh chillies and loads of coriander in my marinade… Less oil….Chicken breasts cut into large chunks…also a tiny bit of garam masala and fenugreek along with the tumeric. .. Once I’d added the coconut milk I added large chunky sliced peppers (red and orange), sliced baby corn, chunks of carrot and mange tout!! So yummy and felt reasonably good you with all the Veggies and lean meat. Thanks for lush recipe!

For those who don’t want to follow the extra step of combining the spices in a separate pot or processing the garlic, onions and ginger, I can confirm that just throwing all the ingredients into the slow cooker and letting it cook for 8 hours low turned out great for me. I just threw everything straight in and left it-EASY! As others recommend I would double the spices in the recipe and garlic. Definitely want to add some chilli flakes and curry powder if you know want some real curry taste! thanksReply
Hey! Can you cook on low for say 8 hours? I would love to put the slow cooker on while I’m at work! Thanks!

Very bland. Even with doubling the spices. After scrolling down through the comments I’m guessing it’s because the author couldn’t be bothered to state the size of coconut milk. I used the standard sized cans and way too much liquid.
