INDIAN COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY
Very flavorful and comforting chicken curry recipe if you like Indian food and coconut. Best served with plain white basmati rice because of the thin consistency, but it is also lovely soaked up with slices of fluffy naan.

Here's a delightful dish I adapted from a non-vegetarian recipe. It's extremely easy to prepare in the crock pot. Deliciously creamy, it can be served by itself, with rice, or with steamed soft tortillas. Also makes a good samosa filling. It has a nice touch of hot pepper to it.
