The lamb diced into bite-sized pieces gets a light coating in flour and then thrown into a heated pan. Once they are browned, transfer to the slow cooker. The sauce is also made separately and added to the lamb.

The sauce is actually the basic version of the classic chicken curry. Brown some chopped onions, sauté ginger and garlic, fry the dry spices- ground turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala and a little red chili powder to spice up the curry, and last of all, add chicken stock to make a thick sauce.

This sauce goes into the slow cooker along with dried bay leaves, cinnamon stick and a few sprigs of curry leaves. Now all you need to do is cook this curry on low for 5-6 hours. Dinner done with less effort!

The best part of this slow cooker lamb curry is that you can substitute lamb with beef or pork. Basically, turn into favorite meat into a delicious curry with this recipe.
