Spiced Lamb Curry
Today marks the start of National Curry Week which runs from the 12th -18th October 2015. To celebrate, I've created this delicious lamb curry using diced shoulder of Welsh Lamb with heaps of fragrant Indian spices.
A mild chicken korma is usually the preference in these parts as I know it's something the kids will eat it! It was therefore quite refreshing to try something a bit different with the spices notched up a peg or two. It's spicy but not hot - I just served some natural yogurt alongside for the kids. If you do like your curry a little bit hotter though just add another red chilli to the equation.

ReplyDeleteI love curry and have got a lamb curry planned for tomorrow night! This looks and sounds delicious x #recipeoftheweek
ReplyDeleteLamb or beef is so good with curry, strong flavors of lamb and beef match perfectly with all spices and created a very comfortable taste. I like the lamb to be really tender, guess I can finish this in the pan to speed up the process. :)
