Captain's Curry


I prefer a sweet curry like this so i really enjoy the bits of cooked apple and raisins in this version.

Add chicken in batches , and brown on all sides.

Reduce the heat on the frying pan to medium.
Add to the frying pan the onions and celery and cook , stirring until softened.
Add garlic , curry powder , chili powder , allspice , nutmeg , cinnamon stick and bay leaf and cook , stirring for 1 minute.
Sprinkle flour over mixture and cook , stirring for 1 minute.
Add chicken broth , bring to a boil and cook , stirring , until thickened , stir in apples and raisins.
Pour the mixture from the frying pan over the chicken in the slow cooker , cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours , or on high for 2 to 3 hours , until juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork.
