This recipe is a good base, but I needed to spice it up a tad. To do so I substituted: butter with ghee; thyme for the chopped stems and roots of three coriander (cilantro) plants; 2 tablespoons of Madras curry paste for the curry powder. I then cooked one diced onion and four finely-chopped cloves of garlic in ghee on medium heat for about 10 mins. Add curry paste and simmer gently for about 5 mins. Add apple, celery, raisins, half a cup of chicken stock and 1 can of chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10 mins. Blend in food processor and return to pan and heat. Add diced lamb and simmer for 10 mins. Serve over Basmati rice garnished with chopped coriander leaves.

Wow! What a great and adaptable recipe for leftover lamb! We changed it a bit: - for veggies sauteed onion, 1 cubed and peeled russett potatoe and garlic - added 1/4 t tumeric instead of thyme - added 1 can of coconut milk instead of chicken broth - used 1 cup of tomato sauce instead of tomatoes - added 1 can of rinsed garbanzo beans with the lamb at the last 5 minutes AND - put the whole over Basmati rice and - topped that with chopped cilantro Absolutely Delicious and cooked in 30 minutes. Only thing I would do differently is decrease the curry powder to 1.5 T. It was great but a little spicy for the hubby!
