Method

  1. Place the slow cooker pot or deep flameproof casserole on the stove, add the oil and warm gently.
  2. Add the spices and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, to release their flavour, but do not burn.
  3. Add the garlic, onions and ginger and cook over a low heat for 3-4 minutes to coat well in the spices and oil.
  4. Next add the lamb, water and crumbled stock cube, season well with salt and pepper, then place in the preheated slow cooker cradle set to low.
  5. Cover and cook for 4-6 hours over a low heat (or in the oven for 4 hours if using a casserole dish – see tip).
  6. Once cooked, the meat will be very tender. Skim off any surplus oil, stir well, then add the cream, tomatoes and coriander.
  7. Check the seasoning and serve with steamed basmati rice.

  1. I love this recipe because it is gluten free, a must for my coelic husband, yet it is tender, tasty and very easy to prepare and cook.
