This was definitely one of the more flavorful crockpot recipes I've ever had. Just incredible flavor and the ribs were falling off the bone tender. I lightly floured the ribs first and browned them but that's just a matter of personal preference I think.

I tinkered with a few small things, I used turmeric rather than curry powder because I usually make my own as needed and didn't have any. i find commercial curry powder not very satisfactory. And I added two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. At this time of year I'm usually meat adverse and I had two servings. And we ate it ALL. it was truly yummy. And a great come back for dealing with what i thought were steaks when i got the bag out of the freezer. (and then discovered they were short ribs...)
