Ingredients
 
 

  • 1.2 kg chicken thighs diced into large pieces
  • 1 brown onion large, finely choped
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 3 cm ginger piece finely chopped
  • 6 kaffir lime leaves smashed with a wooden spoon
  • 2 stalks lemongrass smashed with a rolling pin
  • 100 g jarred curry paste see recipe intro for types
  • 600 ml canned coconut milk
  • 1 cup cashews finely chopped
  • 2 cups pumpkin chopped
  • 1 zucchini chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups green beans chopped (frozen are fine)

To Serve

  • steamed rice
  • coriander leaves or spinach
  • greek yoghurt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C conventional (150°C fan-forced) or have your slow cooker ready.
  • Throw all the ingredients (except the cashews, pumpkin, zucchini and beans) into an ovenproof casserole pot or your slow cooker.
  • Cover with the lid and cook in the oven for 2 hours or in the slow cooker on high for 3 hours. Remove the lid, add the cashews and veggies, then cook for another hour. If the liquid is evaporating too much, add a little more coconut milk.
