Bombay Lamb Curry

"A delicious curry where the rich flavours of the infused spices really make this curry stand out and the addition of yoghurt gives it a rich texture. It's well worth that little bit of effort. I always double the recipe so half can be frozen."

  1. Great curry. The spices work well and the chilies where spot on. Next time I will leave in the seeds from one to increase the heat. I did make one small change - I used canned tomatoes as I had forgotten to buy fresh. This probably resulted in a thicker gravy. I used ghee as I like the flavour but the next time I will cut back to about 2/3 of what is stated (personal preference). I got 3 good serves from this recipe and (yipee) 2 are in the freezer.
