Chef Meg's Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry

I will be trying this in the very near future. I may add left over cooked chicken into mine though. Not because I need to have meat in my curry but because I like to use curries to use up left over poultry.

Slow cookers aren’t just for meat! This is a tasty, affordable one-pot vegetarian meal that’s filling
and perfect for your slow cooker. You can also add shrimp during the last 20 minutes of cooking, if
you like. If the dish is a little too spicy for the kids, add 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt to their serving.
Serve with a glass of milk and a cucumber salad.
