Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Mango Chicken Curry
This mango curry is so fresh you’d be shocked to know it came from a slow cooker or Instant pot! Anything with cauliflower, sweet potatoes and mangoes is my love language. Don’t let the list of ingredients intimidate you. If you purchase pre-chopped cauliflower, onion and sweet potatoes this recipe is very hands off while your appliance does all the work.
