EASY INDIAN CURRIED LAMB

Steps:

• Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and cumin seeds in the hot oil until onion is browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, and gently fry the onion, garlic and ginger until soft and golden.
• Add the curry powder, salt and vinegar and stir thoroughly.
• Add the lamb and cook, stirring constantly until the lamb is coated with the spice mixture.
• Add the tomatoes, chillies and mint.
• Cover and cook over a very low heat for 1 1/4 hours or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally.
• Add the garam masala and chopped coriander in the last 5 minutes of cooking.

LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-low heat. Saute lamb and onion in the hot oil until lamb is browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in broth, raisins, almonds, chutney, vinegar, curry, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
• Stir in rice. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

LAMB & MANGO CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the onions, ginger and garlic in a food processor and blitz to a paste. If you don't have a processor, just chop very finely. Heat the oil in a deep flameproof casserole dish and fry the paste for 10 mins. Add some salt, the spices and tomato purée, then fry for 2-3 mins more until aromatic.
• Stir in the lamb and cook for a few mins until it changes colour all over - it doesn't need to brown. Tip in the coconut milk, tomatoes and 100ml water, and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid, leaving a gap for some steam to escape, and transfer to the oven for 1½ hrs.
• Stir in half the mangoes, and cook for 1 hr more until the lamb is melting and tender. When it's ready, let the curry sit for 10 mins, then spoon off any excess fat from the top. Partly stir in the remaining mangoes, scatter with the coriander and drizzle with the reserved coconut milk. Serve with rice, chutneys and pickles of your choice.

BOMBAY LAMB WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook for a few mins to soften. Add the garlic, stir for 1 min, then add the frozen mince. Cook until defrosted and nicely browned, then stir in the curry paste, tomatoes, potatoes and half a can of water. Season well, then cover with a lid and simmer for 20 mins or until the potatoes are nearly cooked.
• Remove the lid and simmer for a further 10-15 mins until the liquid has reduced and the sauce clings to the potatoes and mince. Add the peas, stir through until defrosted, then serve with the warm wraps and yogurt.

WEST INDIAN LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Pat lamb dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon curry powder, the salt, the ground ginger and the black pepper. Add spice mix to large bowl and toss with lamb.
• Combine onion, scallion, garlic, fresh ginger, allspice, thyme leaves and 2 tablespoons oil in a blender; purée until smooth. Scrape mixture over lamb and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons curry powder and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, brown the meat on all sides. Drizzle in additional oil, if needed, to prevent meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Transfer browned meat to a plate as it browns.
• Once all the meat has been browned, return it to the pot, along with any juices on the plate. Add enough water to just cover meat. Bring liquid to a simmer, covered, then uncover the pot and cook gently for 45 minutes.
• Stir potato, carrot and pepper into pot. Simmer until vegetables are fork tender and meat is cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and vegetables to a bowl. Simmer cooking liquid until it has reduced and thickened to a saucy consistency (to taste), about 15 minutes. Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Pour sauce over meat. Serve over rice, topped with a squeeze of lime, a dollop of mango chutney or pickle and fresh cilantro.
