Equipment

  • Large pan or deep-sided frying pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or sunflower oil
  • 500 g cubed lamb shoulder
  • 2 onions chopped
  • a large bunch of coriander leaves chopped
  • 1 mild green chilli deseeded and finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves very finely chopped
  • 5 cm piece of fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 2 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 2 cardamom pods seeds
  • a pinch of ground cloves
  • a pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp mild chilli powder
  • 4 curry leaves
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • a good pinch of salt
  • 200 ml water
  • 2 tbsp toasted flaked almonds to garnish (optional)

Method

  • Heat the oil in a large pan or deep-sided frying pan over a medium heat. Add the lamb cubes and fry until the lamb is brown on all sides, then add the onion and fry until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the chopped coriander, chilli, garlic and ginger and cook for a further two minutes. Add the remaining spices, the curry leaves, chopped tomato and salt and cook for a further two to three minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the water and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer very gently for one hour, uncovered. Keep an eye on it and add a little more water if it dries out.
  • Garnish with toasted flaked almonds, if using, and serve with rice.
