Ingredients
- 400 g Lamb
- Salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
- 355 g Barker’s Tomato Spinach Saagwala Meal Sauce
- to serve Rice
- to serve (optional) Coconut cream
- to serve Almonds
- to serve (optional) Yoghurt
Method
- Cut the lamb into slices about 1cm x 3cm and season with salt and pepper. Use boneless quick-cooking lamb, such as leg steaks or rump.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and cook the lamb for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown the meat on all sides.
- Pour over the Barker’s Tomato Spinach Saagwala Meal Sauce and stir to combine, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve with rice, scattered with toasted almonds and a drizzle of coconut cream or yoghurt.
Tips
- Chopped coriander or mint are perfect sprinkled over this curry, or if you’re keen to impress, try quickly frying curry leaves in hot oil for 30 seconds to create a delicious garnish.
- For a slow-cooked version, choose a slow cook cut such as lamb shoulder and slice into chunky cubes. Brown the lamb as per the recipe then add to a small slow cooker with the meal sauce and ¼ jar of cold water. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours. Cooking times differ between slow cookers, so adjust your cooking time accordingly if required.
- Once you’ve tried this recipe, change it up – it’s also great with chicken or fish. For a vegetarian version, try paneer or, if you’re creating a vegan dish, switch out for firm tofu cubes or canned, drained chickpeas.
