If I must say. Among all the great invention like air planes that take us from one place to another in much shorter time, and air-conditioning that keep the interior environment cool in tropical climate etc. The invention of slow cooker is also worth the mention.
Slow cooker is the savior to saving time and effort, to have a delicious gourmet meal at the end of the day for the busy individuals. A delicious meal can be prepared easily. Don’t let our busy schedule become an excuse to eat badly.
Today we have couple of activities, and I want to enjoy the rest of the Sunday afternoon just thinking and writing. So, using the slow cooker to prepare our dinner is the best way. 🙂
I started to prepare the ingredients for the slow cooker around noon. I cut up the rack of ribs and chop up half a yellow onion, and place them together into the pot. Sprinkle with salt.
Next, add the curry power into a bowl. I use this BABA’S curry powder made from Malaysia.
You can use any curry powder you like. Personally, I find that this curry powder has the best flavor.
Add just enough water to the curry powder and stir to mix them into a paste.
I like this coconut cream instead of coconut milk for higher fat and a thicker consistency.
Scoop out all the thick coconut cream on the top of the can into the curry paste and mix it together with the curry paste.
Pour the mix curry paste onto the pork rib in the pot. With the remainder 2/3 of the dilute coconut cream, pour half of the can into the pot so that the curry will have some sauce in the end of the cooking. The remainder dilute coconut cream you can use it to add to soup or make a coconut beverage another time.
Add cinnamon sticks, star anise, bay leaves and ground pepper into the pot. Mix them together and cover with the lid. Turn it on to high heat and set to cook for 4 hours. If you are going to be out for a longer period, set it on low heat for 6-7 hours. My slow cooker has a warming mode. When the time is up it will automatically switch to warming mode and the meat will stop cooking.
After 4 hours, this is how it looks like. Use a fork to pierce into the meat and it should be very tender.
I let it sit in the pot in the warming mode until we are ready to eat. The ribs was tender, juicy and fall of the bone easily. Perfectly done! You may now taste the curry sauce and add salt or coconut amino to your taste preference.
Carefully ladle the ribs into a serving bowl. Be gentle or the bones might fall off! Garnish with curly parsley.
This time I served it with salad greens from my garden, and a slice of toasted Keto Power Bread I made couple days ago.
Here is the recipe:
- 1 rack of pork rib about 10 ribs, cut into single ribs
- 1/2 a yellow onion, cut into small pieces

What a great recipe. A definite 5 star. This works well with Roti. Singapore style. Next time use Ceylon Cinnamon. It adds better flavor to pork and has ultra low Coumarin and will not damage your liver like ordinary cassia Cinnamon. Looks like Baba’s Meat Curry powder is very good. It certainly seems to have good ratings on Amazon.
This was a wonderful curry recipe! I was missing the can of coconut milk so I sincerely thank you… this THE one I was searching for…turned out great! I did add potatoes and carrots to mine…Yummy!!
Hi Sherrie, thanks for your kind feedback. If you are eating low carb, be cautious about the potatoes and carrots. 🙂
I am going to make this slow cooker dish with a few variations in the morning. I am a senior citizen and even though we have our meals cooked for us, I still love. To save money, I selected boneless ribs with extra fat and cost 1/2 of baby back ribs. I picked up a cheap bottle of brown sugar and bourbon flavored BBQ sauce. I am going to use my peach yogurt as my cream
Inside a zip lock bag, I
Will hammer garlic pods down to emit the strong aroma and still understated hint of garlic, but not dominant. Put this completed mixture into the refrigerator overnight. Early the next morning. I will report on the results tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Brown sugar, BBQ sauce and peach yogurt are high carb items which we don’t recommend for Keto Way of Eating.
Janet… I too made your version! Thank you so much… tried to give it 5 Stars as it was perfect! But this app only allows 3???
