diy slow-cooker curry

diy slow-cooker curry (in our multi-cooker)
I like the idea of being able to make an amazing curry without the use of a stressful recipe with thousands of ingredients, or just resorting to an 'out-of-the-bottle' job.  This, as a first attempt, I am quite pleased with.  Lots of veggies and quite tasty, all be it not very traditional.

Serves:
4-5 people, with rice

Ingredients:
Big packet/bunch of spinach leaves
2 small carrots or equivalent
1 large onion
1 red capsicum
500g of meat, cut into strips
2 tins of diced tomatoes
1/2 tin of coconut milk
Bunch of spices (I used 3 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp tumeric, 1/2 tsp immitation safron, 1/2 tsp cayan pepper, heaped tsp minced garlic)

Step by step

One... chop up all your veggies and meat into whatever sizes you like to eat them in.  I like small diced pieces.  Spinach (this can just be done in strips) in one bowl, all other veggies in another.

Two... put carrots, onion and capsicum in to brown.  Add your garlic and spices.  Add meat, keep stirring until just brown.

Three... add spinach and tins of tomato.  Stir and slow cook for 4 hours.  Tip, check after two hours and if there is too much juice, let cook with the lid off so some evaporates.

Four...  stir in coconut milk and leave on keep warm for as long as you need.

Serve... with rice.
