Yes, Suzan – you might need to add a fresh herb like mint or thai basil and a little lime juice, to compensate for flavour. Enjoy! The DH Team.

I don’t do coriander leaves or fish sauce. Will it still be ok without?

I couldn’t get the Massaman curry paste in the brand I wanted so I substituted it for Butter Chicken paste. My partner said it was the best curry he’s ever tasted.
I’ve also made curry recipes in the slow cooker and put all ingredients in together and always a winner.

Hi Ebony, unfortunately we have not tested this recipe in a slow cooker but I am sure that if you follow the manufacturer’s instructions for something similar you could test it! Good luck! The dh team
