Spiced Lamb With Coriander Pumpkin (21 Day Wonder Diet: Day 1 )

Submitted by Sara 76

"This is Day 1: Dinner from the 21 Day Wonder Diet. The first time Imade this, I was unable to buy lamb cutlets, so I used 300g diced chicken breast instead. Als i was unable to buy fresh coriander, and had to use dried. The sauce is divine in this recipe, gives the food almost a Thai flavour. :yum:"

Wonderful curry flavour in the sauce. Will have to try again with the chicken. I am not a fan of lamb. The pumpkin was the best part of the meal for me. Kids enjoyed it so will definately make again.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. The recipe is easy to follow, and comes together quite easily. The taste is amazing. I added some fresh spinach to the sauce (just because I had it). My 10 year old ate every bite, and my hubby said he felt like he was eating in a restaurant. (p.s. omit the lamb, use veg broth and this could be a very nice vegetarian dish as well)
