It's kind of like liquorice/menthol in a way.

Not in taste but in the way the flavour works if that makes sense.

But a slow cooker changes many normal spice conventions and it's why the recipe looks off and also why you can't just take any recipe and moer it in slow cooker and expect same results.

I would do it exactly like they say.

That being said I've never seen cardamom that isn't whole pods, so it might be exactly what they mean.

Did you get more instructions to take out the pods or even cloves etc?

In fact post the full instructions, I'm keen to make it myself.

Slow Cooker recipes often do that to compensate for the long cooking time.

But yes it does seem a bit strong.

Slow cookers intensify spices so a reduction in the amount used would be expected.

Or increase the liquids to compensate.

But my point was rather you can't just take a stove top recipe and pop it staight into a slow cooker.

So the recipe is supposed to be for lchf, but the wife wants to add baby onions and potatoes and carrot balls. and there is about 2.5kg of meat in there, so increased the measurements a little.

Yeah also only learnt that a year or three ago that it's just a spice mix and except for curry leaves (which actually go in very few curries) there is no such thing as curry spice in and of itself.

Still haven't managed to perfect my own butter chicken mix though. But when I find fenugreek leaves that will change.

I found a little Indian spice shop here in Somerset that sells methi leaves and seeds. I can't get the trick of using the seeds in my cooking though.

nice I'm in Gordon's Bay often enough and my sister in law is in Somerset so let me know where.
 
Made a rudimentary mutton and (red) cabbage curry. I should've put some greenery to add some colour but I'm not a big fan of dhania.

Served with a low carb wrap thing toasted in the oven.
