Slow Cooked Chicken Madras

As we had the inverter and the slow cooker up and running again for the weekend we had to make the most of it so I rustled up a slow cooked chicken madras.

For this recipe you will need:

• A large onion
• A handful of mushrooms
• A bell pepper
• A glove of garlic
• A couple of cartons of tomatoes
• A couple of chicken breasts
• Madras curry powder

To prepare was simple. Chop up all of the ingredients and stick them in the pot. Add the tomatoes and a couple of table spoons of madras curry powder and leave the cooker on low for the day. In total we left the curry cooking from 9.30am until we ate it at 6.30pm. The final hour was on high power as we added a packet of rice to the mix.

The end result was a super tasty curry which was just the ticket for a bracing early autumn evening.  The above quantities gave us more than enough for two heaped portions and could probably have fed four if served with some poppadoms and naan breads.

This is certainly a dish we will be cooking again sometime soon. It would also work equally well with lamb or beef.
