Curry is one of the best things to cook in a slow cooker in my opinion - two reasons. One the flavour has more time to develop and the beef (or the meat) becomes so wonderfully tender due to the slow cooking process.
This recipe I found on a Facebook page "Slow Cooker Recipes 4 Families" and immediately knew we would love the flavours. A little tweaking to suit us and voila - a mild curry with a hint of Thai flavourings that we all enjoyed. I hope you do too.
