Enchiladas in the slow cooker are perfect for meal prep too. Make a big batch, portion it out, and you’ve got easy dinners (or even lunches) ready to go.

Slow Cooker Mango Chicken Curry

If you’re after something sweet, spicy, and absolutely delicious, this mango chicken curry will hit the spot. It’s a little different from your usual curry, thanks to the fruity twist of mango, which adds a lovely natural sweetness that balances perfectly with the spices. Cooking it in the slow cooker means the chicken becomes meltingly tender, and all those flavours have time to really develop. This one’s perfect for a fakeaway night at home—serve it up with fluffy basmati rice or warm naan for the ultimate curry night treat.

Slow Cooker Chicken Chasni

It’s a mild, tangy, slightly sweet curry that’s a big favourite in Scottish-Indian cuisine—and trust me, it tastes even better when you make it yourself.
