Slow cooker meals really do rule when it comes to cooking up an easy dinner. They’re not the quickest to get on the table, but they make up for that many many times over when it comes to how little effort actually goes into preparing them. With that in mind, I set out to create a super simple (but also super delish!) vegan curry recipe for the slow cooker. This one might look a bit familiar if you’re a fan of my easy mixed vegetable curry. The ingredients and seasonings are pretty similar, with a few changes, like the fact that I added coconut milk to this one to make it extra rich and creamy. This is just about the easiest dinner ever! Add a bunch of stuff to the slow cooker and let it rip. You’ll need to add two final ingredients (canned chickpeas and tomatoes) during the last twenty minutes of cooking, which is a great time to cook up a batch of basmati rice to accompany this delicious curry.
How It’s Made
The following is a detailed photo tutorial on how to make this dish. Scroll all the way down if you’d like to skip right to the recipe! Begin by placing diced onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, coconut milk, green beans, chopped potatoes, sliced carrots, and your spices into a large slow cooker. Stir it up, cover it, and let it cook for a few hours, until your potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Tip: Some folks like to cook their onion, garlic, and ginger in a bit of oil before adding them to the slow cooker. You’re welcome to do that if you’d like, but it’s by no means necessary. Stir in the tomatoes and chickpeas, cover the pot again, and let the curry continue cooking for a bit longer — long enough to heat the ingredients you just added. Turn off the slow cooker and season the curry with some salt and pepper. Tip: Cook times can vary among different slow cooker brands and models, so be sure to keep an eye on this curry the first time you make it. Your vegan slow cooker curry is good to go! Serve it over rice with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro. Homemade vegan naan also makes a nice accompaniment.
