You’ve all been telling me that you’re trying to eat less meat and I’ve listened! This Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry has so many flavours, colours and goodness from the variety of veggies we’re using here – from cauliflower to courgette, aubergine to onion – and all we have to do is chop them up, throw in the rest of the ingredients and turn on the slow cooker! This is the ULTIMATE veggie slow cooker recipe. You could also make this one of your go-to ‘dump bag’ recipes, meaning thrown in all the ingredients to a freezer bag, then you can dump everything in to cook when the time comes – no prep or chopping! It’s so easy and economical, you could even make a batch for lunches too.
Why you’ll love this Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry recipe
⭐️ Packed with goodness ⭐️ Comforting, warming and deliciously satisfying ⭐️ Ultra easy and low cost I used curry paste rather than powder, as the spices tend to taste more ‘cooked’ when used in a slow cooker like this. Plus when we’re focused on vegetables, we need to add plenty of flavour. (However, there is an option to use curry powder instead. See notes below.) I’ve added cashew nuts for protein and texture. If you’d like to try a more authentic vegetarian curry recipe, not using a shop bought paste, you could try this Vegetable Curry by Swasthi’s Recipes, which takes about 40 minutes. In the freezer This recipe freezes well. Just wait until it’s totally cold and then put it into a freezer proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating. This may need a splash of water when you’re reheating it to loosen up the sauce. Check the packet for what is considered a serving for 4 people and adjust the amount in the recipe accordingly. It’s usually 1-2 tbsp per person but it may vary for different brands. This recipe is for 4 people so use the same amount that the back of the pack suggests for 4 people.
Chopping the vegetables
Be sure to cut all of the vegetables quite small here. It helps the texture and helps them cook evenly. I know it feels odd to cut cauliflower so small but it works here – trust me!
Optional additional beans
You could add a tin of drained and rinsed beans to the slow cooker for added protein if you wish.
