Lamb Madras recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tbs red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbs tomato puree
  • 3 tbs Schwartz Madras Curry Spices
  • 450 g (1 lb) lamb, diced
  • 350 ml (12 fl oz) water
  • 3 tbs olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped

A hot and spicy Lamb Madras marinated for an even fuller flavour.

Method

Step 1

Blend the vinegar, tomato purée and 1 tbs Madras Curry Spices. Add the lamb, cover and marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or, for best results, overnight.

Step 2

Cook the lamb in a saucepan with 150ml of the water for 20-25 minutes, until most of the water has evaporated, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat the oil and fry the onion gently, until browned. Add the remaining 2 tbs Curry Spices and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add this, along with the remaining water to the lamb, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Season to taste.

Step 5

Serve with basmati rice flavoured with a few cardamom pods and a cinnamon stick during cooking.

Step 6
