  • 600g lamb neck fillet, all visible fat removed, cut into 3cm chunks
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 1 thumb-sized piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, stalks and leaves separated
  • 2 red chilli, seeded and roughly chopped

Marinade

  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 2 Tbsp Natural Yoghurt

Spice Mix

  • 2 tsp coriander seeds, toasted and ground
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns, roughly ground
  • 2 tsp kashmiri chili

For the Gravy

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

Method

Preparation

• Marinade the lamb with the garam masala, and 2 Tbsp natural yoghurt. Set Aside

• Blend together the spice mix

Cooking

• Heat the oil in a large heavy-based casserole and cook the onions and coriander stalks. Dedicate time to cooking off the onions as they will become the rich base of the sauce, this should take 20-30 minutes.

• Once caramelized, add the garlic, chilli and ginger and fry for 2 minutes. Then add the spice mix and fry for another 2 minutes.

• Add the lamb and fry for 4-5 minutes until coated and browned. Mix in the tomato purée and add in the cinnamon and bay leaves.

• Cover with stock or water and simmer for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and sauce is thick.

• Stir in the yoghurt and cook for 10 minutes.

SERVING

• Serve garnished with the fresh coriander leaves.
