My homemade slow cooker chicken curry!

I have always said I would always attempt a curry recipe! I needed a bit of inspiration so I did a bit of research and thought I would give it a go! It turned out pretty good that I just had to share it!!! 

You will need: 

• A slow cooker
• ​Fry light 
• 1 kg of chicken drumsticks 
• 1 chopped red onion (diced) 
• 100g of mango chutney (you can use anything else you like but I used mango chutney as this makes it nice and sweet
• 1 tin of coconut milk (400 ml) 
• Seasonings- I used lots; Chilli Powder, Curry Powder, Paprika, Cajun, Ginger, Cumin, Garlic Powder, Salt & Pepper 
• 100-200g rice 
• 1 tbsp Garam Masala 
• 1 tbsp Mr.Naga (if you like it spicy go extra with a couple of spoonfuls) 
• 2 Plain Naan- double up if cooking for more than 2 people 

When plating up use about 100g cooked weight rice along with some of the naan bread, plate up some spinach or your fave veggies then add on x2-3 chicken drumsticks onto the rice with the sauce and dig in. 

• Scroll down for the method!!! ​

Method 

Step 1- Wash your chicken drumsticks, to take off some of the white and then pop them into a bowl. 
From here use your chilli powder, curry powder, salt and pepper to season up the chicken drumsticks. Mix it really well by using your hands. Wash your hands and set aside. 

Step 2- Once your chicken drumsticks have been seasoned, chop up your red onion into small cubes. From here you are going to spray some fry light into your slow cooker, I always do this as I don't like any of my food to be oily.  Add the chicken drumsticks to the slow cooker along with the onion, then grab all the other ingredients that need to go in. 
​
Step 3- Then you need to add all your other ingredients, start with the coconut milk, then your mango chutney and add all your other seasonings on top. From here add in the garam masala and the Mr.Naga too! 

Step 4- Mix it all up and give it a really good stir!!! Once you have done that place the lid on and turn on your slow cooker. I put it on low for 6 hours but it's up to you what you decide to do, when chicken drumsticks are cooked on a lower heat it's better because the chicken becomes more tender and falls off the bone! 

Step 5- You may want to give the curry a stir every few hours, but if you aren't home it will be fine even if you don't stir it. In the last 10 mins you will want to prepare your rice and then in the last 5 mins get your naan bread prepared, you can put in the oven or the ninja for 4-5 mins dependant on instructions!

Step 6- I hope you enjoy this one if you give it a go! If you don't have a slow cooker I do highly recommend you get one especially if you are a busy parent or lack time to prepare meals. A slow cooker does all the hard work all you have to do is chuck all the ingredients in and dig in after a long hard day! 
When plating up use about 100g cooked weight rice along with some of the naan bread about 1/4 piece size, plate up some spinach or your fave veggies then add on x2-3 chicken drumsticks onto the rice with the sauce and dig in.
