Anyone who loves curries try this
I made this last week, and guess whats for dinner this week
800 grm trimmed lamb neck fillet
2 medium onions
1 fresh red chilli
a thumb sized piece of fresh ginger
a small bunch of coriander (fresh)
groundnut or vegetable oil
a knob of butter
4 bay leaves
salt and pepper
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
1 tin chopped tomatoes
optional: 600ml chicken stock
1/2 a jar of pataks rogan josh curry paste
2-3 handfulls of red lentils
Cut lamb into 2.5 cm cubes, finely chop onions, chilli, ginger (peel first), pick the leaves off half the bunch of corriander. Chop the other half including stalks.
Put a large casserole type pan on a medium to high heat add a couple of lugs of oil and butter. Add the onions, chilli ginger corriander stalks and bay leaves a cook for 10 mins, until softened and golden. Add lamb pieces and a little salt and pepper and good until lightly browned. Add balsamic vinegar and cook for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken stock (or 600ml hot water), and pataks curry paste, stir in the lentils. Bring up to the boil, then turn right down and allow to simmer with the lid on for about an hour, stirring regularly. If drying out (it never has with me) you can add extra water to the pan. When meat tender it's cooked, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Sprinkle over corriander leaves, a dollop of yoghurt and serve with naan, rice, poppadom blah blah blah etc etc
