Ingredients
1 lb chicken breasts, cut into small pieces2 medium potatoes, diced1 c. milk1 c. plain yogurt1/4 c. raisins1/4 c. cashews1 c. peaches, mango, or apricots1 15 oz can coconut milkOlive oil for sautéing1 large onions3T garlic3T sliced fresh ginger (or 1 1/2 T. dried ginger)2 T curry powder4 T. spring water
Directions
Whisk together coconut milk, milk and yogurt, and pour into a crock pot set on low. Add diced chicken and diced potatoes, stirring it in.

Grind together the raisins, nuts and the fruit, and add to the yogurt, chicken mixture.

Wash out your food processor or blender, then grind together your onions, garlic and ginger. Sauté until the mixture gets slightly darker. Then mix water and curry powder.

Add to mixture in sauté pan and simmer for awhile. The instructions on how to make curry that I ran across said to simmer "until it starts to smell really good". It sounds non-specific, but believe me, this is accurate. Your nose will know, 'cause you'll take in a deep breath and say to yourself, "That smells GOOD."

When you get to that point, add the mixture to the stuff cooking in the crock pot. If you're cooking it on low, it needs to cook for about five hours (but can go longer). On high, you need to cook it at least three hours.

Serve over rice. Makes about 8 servings.
