Curries around the world have evolved to reflect native tastes and available produce and spices. In the Caribbean, the very hot curries feature scotch bonnet peppers and potatoes.
Curries from South East Asia are much lighter and include lemongrass and kefir lime leaves. Thai cuisine includes red, green and yellow curries made from different colored peppers.
Not only are there many types of curry around the world, there are also many distinct types of curry in Indian cuisine.
Dhansak is a sweet and sour curry, saag curries feature spinach, and vindaloo is the hottest of all Indian curries.
The United Kingdom’s favorite curry is Chicken Tikka Masala. The dish is considered one of the country’s most popular both to take out and to make at home.
You can easily assemble a Chicken Tikka Masala in your slow cooker. Marinate chicken pieces overnight in yogurt then combine with onions, tomato paste, whole tomatoes and your choice of curry spices.
Simmer in your slow cooker for 4 to 6 hours and stir in cream or coconut milk at the end of cooking. Serve with rice or Nan bread and treat your family to one of the world’s favorite meals.
