We don’t get a lot of lamb in the supermarkets in Southern Ontario, and when we do it’s usually very expensive. Nevertheless, I had a craving for a lamb curry and went in search of the meat. Yes, it was hideously expensive, but I treated myself. This curry is dry and mild. If I make it again, I will up the spices for a bit more heat and I’ll add some liquid to give it a bit more sauce. But it was still very good and made a delicious dinner served with rice and sautéed bok choy. .

I love lamb and lamb curry! I've not yet made it in the slow cooker. I will definitely try this. Tanks for this recipe.

ReplyDeleteLamb and curry=a winning combination.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some turmeric? Good and good for you.
For extra liquid try a can of tomatoes.
