INGREDIENTS
  • 1kg lamb shoulder or leg, cut into chunks
  • 3 tbsp ghee or vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, finely sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2.5cm piece ginger, grated
  • 2–3 green chillies, slit lengthways
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder (adjust to taste)

  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 200ml plain yoghurt
  • 400ml lamb or chicken stock
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Fresh coriander, for garnish
METHOD

  1. Heat ghee/oil in a heavy pan. Fry onions until golden brown.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, and green chillies. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Stir in ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, chilli powder, and garam masala. Toast for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add lamb chunks, browning on all sides.
  5. Stir in chopped tomatoes, cooking until softened.
  6. Mix in yoghurt gradually, stirring well to prevent curdling.
  7. Pour in stock, bring to a simmer, and cover. Cook on a low heat for 1.5–2 hours until lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  8. Adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.

Hot Tips

  • Toast whole spices (cumin seeds, coriander seeds) for deeper flavour.
  • Use Kashmiri chilli powder for vibrant colour without overwhelming heat.
  • For a milder curry, reduce chillies and add more yoghurt.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day.

Pairings

Red Wine:

  • Shiraz (Australia or South Africa) – Bold, peppery and fruit-driven, stands up to the heat and richness.

  • Zinfandel – Jammy fruit with spice notes that complement the curry’s chilli warmth.

  • Grenache – Medium-bodied with soft red fruit and a hint of spice, balancing without overpowering.

White Wine:

  • Gewürztraminer (Alsace) – Aromatic, slightly off-dry, its floral and lychee notes soften the curry’s spice.

  • Riesling (off-dry, German or Austrian) – Bright acidity and a touch of sweetness tame the heat.

  • Chenin Blanc (Loire or South Africa) – Versatile, fresh with subtle tropical fruit, pairs beautifully with lamb and spice.

Beer & Cider:

  • IPA (India Pale Ale) – Hoppy bitterness cuts through the richness.

  • Lager – Crisp, clean, and refreshing against the heat.

  • Dry cider – Apple sharpness works with lamb while cooling the palate.

Non-Alcoholic:

  • Mango Lassi – The classic choice, creamy and cooling.

  • Sparkling lime soda with mint – Refreshing and sharp.

  • Iced chai tea – Sweet, spiced, and fragrant, echoing the dish’s flavour notes without heat.
