- 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons curry powder

👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Sausages
Parboil the sausages for a few minutes, then remove the skins. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Load the Slow Cooker
Add the chopped sausages, potatoes, carrots, and corn into your slow cooker.
Step 3: Make the Curry Sauce
In a saucepan, gently heat the coconut milk and stir in the curry powder until well combined and fragrant.
Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker, then add the chicken stock.
Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection
Cook on low for 5–6 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Step 5: Thicken the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with a little cold water to form a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking.
Let it thicken to your desired consistency.
