This is a very tasty tomato based curry with lots of aromatic spices and not to much heat. The addition of a handful of sultanas gives the dish a lovely sweetness which works perfectly. Most recipes for this dish use fresh lamb such as cuts like neck fillets but if you’ve had Lamb roast for Sunday lunch, then what meat you have left of the joint will work just as good. Alternatively chicken makes an excellent alternative. Other than that it’s just a case of letting the flavours marry together and tucking in with rice or nan bread and whatever chutneys you might have in your fridge.
Prepare all your spices in a ramekin then mix together.
In a wok or deep pan, heat the vegetable oil, then add the chopped onion garlic & ginger. Cook for about 2 minutes the add all the spices, coating everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the shredded cooked lamb encasing it with the onion and spice mix, cook for another 3 minutes.
Toss in the tomatoes, tomato puree, yogurt and lamb stock. Marry everything together, cover, then leave to cook on a low heat for up to 45 minutes. The end result should leave a nice gravy.
Before plating up, sprinkle with fresh coriander then serve with rice, chutneys and nan bread.
