Tips
Lamb
We have used lamb leg meat for this lamb curry recipe because it is much easier to cut and remove the fat. To ensure the lamb cooks fairly quickly cut it into small 1/2 inch pieces. There's nothing worse than waiting hours for meat to soften.
Vegetables
You can add any of your favourite vegetables to curry and experiment with other vegetables you would like to try.
Remember that any root vegetable such as carrots, potatoes or sweet potato need to be streamed or boiled until just cooked before adding them to the curry.
Indian Spices
Fresh is best. If you have spices in your cupboard which have been there for a long time, throw them and buy a fresh supply. Spices do lose their aroma and flavour.
