Recipe Tips
- You can bulk out this slow cooker lamb rogan josh by adding some cubed potatoes, carrots, or even some lentils. It is up to you, but it will change the overall texture and taste of the curry.
- Mixing the yogurt straight into the hot curry can cause the yogurt to split and not combine correctly. Heating the yogurt will help reduce the chance of it splitting.
- You can skip the browning of the meat and the cooking of the curry paste. Instead, just throw everything into the slow cooker. However, you may find the curry will not turn out nearly as good and be missing that extra boost in flavor.
- Turn the slow cooker to high and cook for three to four hours if you are in a bit of a hurry.
