Before you begin...
This recipe takes around 5-10 min to prep, so get your slow cooker and all your ingredients ready, then wash your fruit and veg
Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Boil a kettle and turn on your slow cooker to high
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over high heat
Add your chicken thighs to the pan and cook until lightly golden
Drain and rinse your green lentils and red lentils together under cold running water
Crush your garlic clove[s] open by squashing with the side of a knife and remove the skin[s]
Crush your cardamom pod[s] open by squashing them with the side of a knife
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) your ginger, then chop it in half
Roughly chop your coconut cream
Add the rinsed lentils and crushed garlic to the pan with the ginger halves, cardamom pods, curry powder and ground turmeric
Give everything a good mix up
