My love of curries began in college when I lived in the heart of an Indian neighborhood in New York. My dorm was sandwiched around several vegetarian Indian restaurants and I often chose a nice warm curry over the cafeteria food or the more traditional cheap pizza.
Now that I have my own kitchen, I love to cook up delicious curries at home. Full of flavor, they never cease to please. This vegetable curry cooked in the slow cooker is easy to prepare and smells amazing when you come home after a long day at work.

Hi. I’m just wondering what curry powder/paste you’d recommend with this recipe.
Thanks:)
Phew, that’s spicy! But absolutely delicious! Made it overnight so I could have lunches for two days and YUM!!!
I used a 5 qt slow cooker.
For what size crockpot/slow cooker is this recipe? I’m always on the lookout for good vegetarian crockpot recipes, but I find that they almost never say what size crockpot, and mine is quite small, so I never know how to cut the recipe to make it work in my crockpot. Any suggestions? Thanks.
