How To Make Slow Cooker Yellow Curry With Vegetables

1. Prepare the vegetables: Chop the cauliflower into florets, slice the eggplant and capsicum, and place them in the slow cooker.
2. Add the base ingredients: Stir in the yellow curry paste, coconut cream, and vegetable stock. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, or until the cauliflower is tender.
3. Prepare remaining vegetables: While the curry is cooking, trim the green beans and cut them into 3 cm (1¼ inch) pieces. Slice the zucchini into 1 cm (½ inch) rounds.
4. Add the final ingredients: Stir in the zucchini, green beans, baby corn, soy sauce, and palm sugar. Cover and cook for another 1 hour, or until all the vegetables are tender.
5. Garnish and serve: Scatter the chopped red chilli and fresh coriander over the curry. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh vegetables: Fresh cauliflower, zucchini, and green beans will give the best texture and flavor. Avoid using frozen vegetables as they can become too soft in the slow cooker.
• Adjust the spice level: If you like a milder curry, start with 1 tablespoon of curry paste. For more heat, add extra curry paste or chopped red chilli.
• Don’t skip the soy sauce and sugar: These ingredients balance the flavors, adding the right mix of saltiness and sweetness to the curry.
• Add vegetables in stages: Harder vegetables like cauliflower and eggplant need more time to cook, while softer ones like zucchini and green beans should be added later to keep their texture.
• Let the flavors blend: The curry tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen. If possible, make it ahead and reheat for a richer taste!
