Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1 tbsp canola oil
    4 medium carrots (about 2 cups), sliced
    1⁄4-inch thick
    1 onion, thinly sliced
    3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
    2 tbsp curry powder
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp garam masala
    1⁄2 tsp turmeric
    4 to 5 Yukon Gold or red potatoes,
    quartered
    8 ounces fresh or frozen green beans
    3 cups canned chickpeas, drained and
    rinsed
    2 large tomatoes, diced (1 cup)
    2 cups vegetable stock
    1⁄2 cup frozen peas
    1⁄2 cup light coconut milk

Tips

You can also add shrimp during the last 20 minutes of cooking, if you like. If the dish is a little too spicy for the kids, add 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt to their serving. Serve with a glass of milk and a cucumber salad.


Directions

1. In a sauté pan, heat the oil until hot. Add the carrots and onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, curry powder, cumin, garam masala, and turmeric to the pan. Continue to cook for 2 minutes more, until the spices become fragrant.
2. Remove the vegetables from the pan and
transfer to a slow cooker. Add the potatoes,
green beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, and vegetable
stock to the slow cooker.
3. Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 5
1⁄2 hours. Add the peas and coconut milk and
cook for 15 minutes more.

    I made this but I substituted root veggies (parsnips, turnips, etc.) for the potatoes. I also used two cups of (cooked) lentils in place of 2 cups of the garbanzos to make it more like dahl. Adding chili paste will kick up the heat, as will adding curry paste instead of powder. - 2/4/10

    Making this tonight - plan to add tofu. Also, instead of buying light coconut milk, just buy regular and add water - it's cheaper that way since you get twice as much and that is all they do with the "light" anyway! - 3/15/10

    This is the most wonderfull recipe I have found in ages. We plan to fix it once a week. I did put two chicken breast in it and used sweet potatoes instead of yucon potatoes and chicken broth instead of vegetable stock. - 2/6/10

    Smelled wonderful and recipe had a nice flavor.
    Problem: Potatoes were still hard even after cooking for over an extra hour. Cooked leftovers longer. Unfortunately by time potatoes were soft everything else was overcooked. Need to precook potatoes in future or eliminate them.

    Inquiring minds would like to know??? Is a serving a half a cup or a whole cup? Some recipes describe a serving as a half a cup, while others say a serving is a whole cup, so it would be helpful to describe how much a serving is in this recipe. - 2/4/10

    It's just a guess, but I'd say a serving would be 1 cup. Add up all the 'cup' sized ingredients and you come up with a little over 9 cups, and it says 9 servings. Viola! - 2/4/10

    This was really good. I hope to change my eating - so much of the american diet is based on sugar , salt and fat! And volume. I plan to eat smaller portions of more flavorfull food in the coming year. I want to replace sugar, salt and ffat with flavor! This recipe did that! - 1/3/10

    We all loved this especially my kids - I had just one comment about the lack of meat but two of them begged me for the leftovers for lunch today. I substituted 2cups lentils for the chick peas as they kids prefer lentils and added 2 more cups of water that the lentils needed to cook. - 8/3/10

    I used my own recipe for curry powder and doubled the amount in the recipe. It was nice to throw in the leftover veggies from the week, walk away, and come back to a delicious meal. I served with chobani to some of my heat sensitive friends. The spice is especially nice when it is cold outside - 2/17/10

    i used Chicken and hubby put all the ingred in the slow cooker. Did not have to cook things before and then add.

    So yours is similar then what we did in one shot.

    Liked your last tip though. If too hot for the kids or my case Grandchildren. Use yogurt. That sounds good.

    Thanks.

    I'm not a big fan of vegetables, so unless they're hidden in my sandwich or curry, I don't usually eat them. When I decided to eat healthier, Indian food was my solution, and this recipe did the trick! Thank you! - 3/29/10

    This was a tasty, filling meal, but there's no way the prep time is 15 minutes. Peeling and slicing carrots, peeling and slicing onions and garlic, cooking them, washing and quartering potatoes... Perhaps I'm slow, but I will budget more time for preparation when I make this in the future. - 12/30/13

    We were disappointed. There was a richness of flavors that was just missing for a curry, and I expected a rich sauce. It was watery and, although I could have thickened it, this would have buried the flavors even more. Will have to adjust it somehow, as we love curry, veggies and our slow cooker! - 3/23/11

    I diced the potatoes a bit smaller and they were fully cooked. I used a can of diced tomatoes vs fresh. Very very good. I think I might substitute sweet potatoes next time for white potatoes just to mix things up. But I have so much left I'll be eating this for quite a while it makes a lot. - 4/1/13

    Have not made it yet - but it's on the meal plan for the week! One note about nutrition information: the calories for the coconut milk are based on Silk's Coconut Milk which is completely DIFFERENT from canned coconut milk commonly used in cooking/curries. Keep in mind when calculating meal plan! - 1/28/13

    This won't cook. I put the ingredients in my slow cooker around 3:30. Turned up heat to high at 5:30. At 8:00, I couldn't get a fork through the potatoes. Turned down. At bedtime, potatoes uncooked. Unplugged. On Day 2, still trying to cook the potatoes. After 2 hours on high, they are softening. - 12/2/10

Omitted grn beans and peas- didn't have any coconut milk so used 1/3 c fat free half and half + 2 tbs Greek yogurt. Very good- will make again with coconut milk - 10/1/10

    To avoid the potatoes not getting done, cut them smaller than quarters. It turned out bitter and the sauce was thin and super runny. How can I make it thicker? I probably will not make this again. Disappointing for all the prep of cutting and chopping. - 8/12/19
