Tips
If you prefer a milder curry then omit or reduce the chilli flakes or hot sauce to your taste. This recipe also works really well in the slow cooker, just follow the steps and where it says to put it in the oven just pop it all in the slow cooker put it on low for the day and your curry will be ready when you get home.
