I cooked this in the Slow Cooker for approx 6 hours on low and it came out delicious! If you love cinnamon spiced curries then this is a go too! There are a lot of ingredients (mostly immune boosting spices) but if you stock your pantry up, you can create dishes like this all the time. I served this on quinoa with currants and added a dollop of coconut cream on top (this is optional).
