I turned to the recipe book, for Creamy Chicken Korma
So, no korma paste (or other mild curry paste) so i used sweet chili sauce! While I waited for the the homecooker to heat up (which actually took a lot less time that it took me to prepare the next part) I chopped the onions, crushed the garlic, opened the jar of ginger, looked in the garden for my coriander...turns out it has gone to seed so I got out the jar of dried coriander leaves and the jar of sweet chili sauce (this is homemade from my homegrown chillies!!)
I then chucked all this into the homecooker, turned on the stirrer and set it for about 20 minutes or whatever the book said...but came back after about 10 minutes, because I couldn't be bothered waiting
NB. Am starting to enjoy the convenience of the Homecooker machine, I could just set it and then go and fold the piles and piles of washing I am getting through after 2 weeks of camping!...so anyway
Added the chicken (I don't like chickpeas so I just left these out anyway!)

I then tipped in a can of evaporated milk (because I didn't have coconut cream) brought to boil...didn't come back straight away... almost overflowed... caught it and turned it down to 110 and then set the time for about 20 minutes, seemed fine.
Served over brown rice (yes feeling all healthy!!) that was cooked separately in the rice cooker.
That was the disappointing thing, I definitely felt like the advertising hype implied that you could cook the whole meal in the one machine, ie, chicken curry and rice all together.... or spag boll where you cook the pasta and the mince together, but it looks like it's really just one or other.
I forgot to take a pic of the final cooked meal! But it tasted fine, didn't look that great as the evap milk separated in the cooking. I will do some grocery shopping in the next couple of days and then I will make sure my recipes are planned and ready for mr homecooker!!
