Tomato & Lamb Curry (Oamc)

This tasty curry freezes very well, is not too spicy for the kids and contains lots of veggies! To freeze: At the end of step 3, set the lamb mixture aside for 10 minutes to cool. Stir in the beans and peas. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container. Label, date and freeze for up to three months. To thaw & cook: Place in the fridge overnight or until thawed. Place the curry in a large saucepan over low heat. Cover and slowly bring to the boil. Increase heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for 10-15 minutes or until the beans are tender and curry is heated through. Continue from step 5.
