I can't get enough. I have had 2 dinner parties and tonight a third....serving this delicious
Recipe. I do put half lite coconut milk and half full fat
Makes it a little creamier for me. It will stay in my repertoire 

Made this tonight in my new slow cooker.  We loved the flavor - had it with couscous - but the "sauce" was thin, more like a jus.  How can I get it to thicken some?  Will definitely make it again, but don't know if I should leave the top off for a while to let it reduce or to add some cornstarch or something.  What would you suggest?

My family loved this, although I used only 1/2 of the cumin and turmeric and the juice of only one lime.  Also, my family doesn't like spicy so i left out the jalapeno and didn't have curry powder.  I have pick people, lol, but they devoured it!

Do you cook 4 hrs on high or low?  I’m new to using a slow cooker. Thank you very much. 

A keeper!!!  This is the third time I’m making it!  Doubling the sauce is a good thing...it loves being co-mingled with jasmine rice.  

Wow, this sauce is amazing! Just used my immersion blender to get the sauce ready for the slow cooker. Definitely making this one again.

Thank you so much for posting this AMAZING recipe! I usually have to go gluten and dairy free directly after childbirth, and this has been a fantastic go-to meal!

It looks like goop when it's cooking but it tastes delicious! Kristen has knocked it out of the park with every recipe I have tried so far! Thank you so much Kristen!
