    Ooh I'd like the recipe as well please!

    I've just put something in the slow cooker using no recipe - been inspired by reading MSE this last week - scared how it might turn out :eek:

    It's a mini slow cooker and I've added:

    * 4 small potatoes cubed
    * 1/2 tin chick peas (rest in fridge... not sure what to do with)
    * tin chopped toms
    * curry powder
    * bay leaf
    * pepper

    I heated up the toms, curry powder & bay leaf and then added all to the slow cooker. I thought I'd give it 5 hours on high, fingers crossed it works :D.
