You may have seen my Curried Egg Salad or my Curried Chicken Salad. Using a slow cooker has to be the most convenient way to cook.

And it is oh so easy.

Even if you work full time you can throw a few ingredients into the crock pot in the morning and come home to a cooked meal and a house filled with the delectable fragrance of curry.

You can also use an Instant Pot – just follow the directions that come with the pot.
