Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 450 g herb sausages
  • 1 medium onion
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • ½ small green chili pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup (250 ml) chicken stock
  • ½ cup (125 ml) Greek yoghurt
  • A handful fresh coriander
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the sausages for 5 minutes until cooked through and slightly brown on all sides. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    450 g herb sausages
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add the onion to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened, then add the chopped garlic, ginger and green chili pepper. Continue to cook for another minute, stirring often, until fragrant.
    1 medium onion
    4 garlic cloves
    1 tablespoon fresh ginger
    ½ small green chili pepper
  • Stir in the tomato paste, garam masala, ground cumin, smoked paprika and fennel seeds and cook for another minute to bring out the flavor of the spices.
    1 tablespoon tomato paste
    1 tablespoon garam masala
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
  • Transfer the onion mixture to the slow cooker, then add the sliced zucchini, butter beans, chopped tomatoes and chicken stock. Cut the sausages into big chunks and add them to the slow cooker.
    1 medium zucchini
    1 can (14 oz / 400 g) butter beans
    1 can (14 oz / 400 g) chopped tomatoes
    1 cup chicken stock
  • Stir everything well, then place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 6-7 hours on LOW or 3-4 hours on HIGH.
  • When the time is done, stir in the Greek yoghurt and the fresh coriander. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve immediately with steamed rice or warm naan bread.
    ½ cup Greek yoghurt
    A handful fresh coriander
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Notes

  • Make sure the heat is off when you stir in the Greek yogurt. It also helps if you have it at room temperature to avoid splitting.
  • You can technically skip the browning step for the sausages as they’ll cook through during the slow cook time. I highly recommend you brown them, though, as you'll lose the caramelised exterior and the texture will be paler and softer.
  • For an even richer flavor, make this the day before. The curry reheats beautifully and the flavors have more time to blend overnight.
