Recipe tips
If you don’t have time to make korma curry paste from scratch, you can easily replace it with a jarred curry paste purchased at the supermarket. There are many brands, but personally, I would recommend Patak’s curry paste.
Chickpeas are a great addition to a good korma curry. If you like them, I recommend that you add them to your plate. Add them at the same time as you add everything else in the slow cooker.
If at the end of the cooking the curry seems too thin, try adding a mixture of cornstarch and water. Two tablespoons of cornstarch with a little water should be more than enough to thicken the sauce.
Almond flour is the same as ground almonds or almond flour. So don’t stress out if you don’t have the exact same ingredients.
