Hi Everyone

This book 'Slow cooking curry & spice dishes' has loads of great sounding recipes in it. Only tried 2 or 3 of them so far, but they were fairly easy to prepare and the results were delicious.

Cheers

Now that could be a handy book to have on the shelf :.

Thanks for the recommendation SS - certainly looks to have received some effusive reviews.

In fact it's probably too long to be cooking it for, but I'm typically out of the house 10 or 11 hours on a weekday so no choice on that one. 

NJ, add a light dimmer to your slow cooker, or put it on a timer.  They are low power devices and well within the capacity of a domestic light dimmer (these are normally rated at 400W).  I used one of those with enormous success for my yoghurt making (until SWMBO dropped the inner glazed earthenware container) and with a couple of trial runs you should be able to achieve the perfect temperature for an 11-hour cook.

Good idea Phil, although I'm not sure using a lower heat than the existing "low" setting would be safe, as it already cooks at a very low temperature. I'm sure a certain level of heat is required in order to kill any bugs in the raw meat.  The delayed start could be useful though.

I find most good recipies in any good indian cokery book work well in slow cooker. Perhaps adding extra meat might give a more depth of flavour . thats what i do anyway. chop the onion up as small as possible, then it disappears into a sauce after 9 hours.

Hi Russ

I now have this book. Any recommendations for good recipes to start on? I wouldn't like to choose a poor example for my first experiment.  Thanks
