Ingredients

  • 450g lean lamb shoulder or leg cubes
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped or crushed
  • 1 x 2.5cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated

Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick pan and brown the lamb in batches for 3-4 minutes.  Spoon into a 1.2L heatproof casserole dish.

  3. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 2-2½ hours or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally. Season if required.
  4. 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time add the potato and lime juice.
  5. Garnish with the coriander and black mustard seeds and serve with basmati rice, naan bread and a chutney of your choice.

Tips:

If you prefer a hotter curry add freshly chopped chillies with the garlic and ginger.
