Recipe description
Variations
- Use mango puree if you can find it, but the sliced mango breaks down beautifully in the slow cooker to form a fruity sauce.
- Cut thighs into 4-6 pieces each, depending on their size. Don’t make the pieces too small or they’ll disappear into the sauce.
- For an extra veggie hit, add a few handfuls of baby spinach just prior to serving and allow it to wilt into the curry.
- Double recipe and cook for an extra hour. Makes 20 serves! Yum!
