Fry over a medium heat for 10 mins until lightly golden.

Stir and bring to a simmer, then spoon into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 5-6 hrs until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

SLOW COOKER LAMB (OR CHICKEN) KORMA
A mild, rich, creamy curry. This recipe is adapted from "Creamy lamb and almond curry" from Slow Cooking Curry & Spice Dishes (Humphries). Instead of using creme fraiche, I used creamed coconut. Delicious, and the meat just falls apart in your mouth! To grind the almonds, you can use a mortar and pestle.

LAMB IN THE SLOW COOKER
We adore Australian or New Zealand lamb, which has more flavor than the blander US lamb. So I was happy to have been given this simple recipe using a Crock-Pot®. Great served with mashed potatoes.

LAMB KORMA - CROCK POT/SLOW COOKER
This recipe is cooking as I am posting it and the smell throughout the house is terrific... You might opt to use fresh garlic & onion instead of the powdered version, as well as cheaper cuts of lamb w/ bone. And while the recipe doesn't call for it, a little curry may be a nice addition too.
