This slow cooker chicken and chickpea curry is so delicious and easy to make. A simple Indian curry which requires very minimal preparation, this is a meal I cook often when I’m in a hurry but craving curry (which is pretty often!).

Flavoured with turmeric and fresh garlic this is a crowd-pleasing curry which is suitable for a mid-week family dinner or to serve when friends are around for a special occasion.

All you need to do to prepare this recipe is put everything in the slow cooker and turn it on – it really couldn’t be easier! Then, once you get home from work, add in the chickpeas and thicken the sauce a little. Recently, I’ve been trying to make all my slow cooker recipes this simple – as I really hate doing too much work in the morning if I can avoid it!

I tend to serve with parathas or naan bread and skip the rice with this one as the chickpeas are so filling.
