Background
Lamb curry is one of the most popular dishes in Indian cuisine. Besides the famous Rogan Josh flavours, there are many yummy versions. This coconut lamb curry is not too spicy, yet fantastically flavoursome and easy to make. Perfect for family meals, parties and get-togethers. Serve with steamed basmati rice or naan bread.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp ghee oil or vegetable oil
- 500g lamb shoulder, diced
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- ½ Tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 red chilli
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 5 fresh curry leaves
- 2 Tbsp curry powder
- ½ tin chopped tomatoes (200g)
- 250 ml chicken stock
- 100 ml coconut cream
- 1 Tbsp chopped coriander
Instructions
- Thinly slice the garlic and onions. Deseed the chilli and finely chop. Measure out the spices.
- In a heavy-based pan, heat half of the oil and brown the lamb. Transfer the meat to a plate.
- Add the remaining to the pan and gently cook the onion until soft. Add the garlic, ginger, curry leaves and turmeric powder. Stir for 1 minute, then return the lamb and add the curry powder. Add the stock and chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat, cover, and simmer for an hour.
- Add the coconut cream and cook, uncovered, until it’s reduced to a thick, creamy sauce.
- Stir in the coriander leaves and serve.
