Ingredients

  • 1 lb lamb chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt plus for to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 red chilies minced
  • 3 tablespoons curry paste
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Season lamb with salt and pepper. Add vinegar and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate.
  • Core your tomatoes, cut them in quarters and pop them in a blender. Process until completely liquid. You might have to add about ¼-1/2 cup of water to get them moving.
  • In a large skillet over a medium high heat, brown the lamb in batches, and remove to plate.
  • Add the sliced onion to pan and cook for a few minutes, until softened.
  • Now add in the garlic and chili peppers and stir.
  • Add in the curry paste. Stir and fry for a few more minutes.
  • Put lamb back in the pan, along with any juices that accumulated. Stir well to cover the lamb with the curry paste, onions and garlic.
  • Pour in the puréed fresh tomatoes. Stir well. Bring to the boil then reduce the fire to a slow simmer.
  • Cook covered for 45 minutes or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the lid and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, so the sauce is thick and concentrated. This could take another 10-15 minutes. Taste for salt and add more if necessary.
  • Finish by stirring through the plain yogurt and chopped cilantro. Garnish with a dollop more of the yogurt and cilantro, if deserved.
  • Serve with rice or naan.
