Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients Lamb Curry is a simple curry that uses lamb, curry paste, onions, tomatoes, and yogurt. The lamb is slow-cooked with these ingredients, resulting in a rich and flavorful curry that’s perfect for serving over rice or with naan bread.
Ingredients
-
- Lamb Shoulder (boneless): 600g (about 1.3 lbs), cut into chunks
-
- Curry Paste: 4 tablespoons (choose your favorite type)
-
- Onions: 2 large, sliced
-
- Canned Tomatoes (diced): 400g (about 14 oz)
-
- Plain Yogurt: 200ml (about 3/4 cup)
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Onions
-
- Heat a Pan: Place a large pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
-
- Cook the Onions: Add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden.
Step 2: Add the Curry Paste
-
- Stir in the Curry Paste: Add the curry paste to the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes to release the flavors of the spices.
Step 3: Cook the Lamb
-
- Add the Lamb: Stir in the lamb chunks, making sure they’re coated in the curry paste and onions.
-
- Brown the Meat: Cook the lamb for 5-6 minutes until browned on all sides.
Step 4: Add Tomatoes and Simmer
-
- Add the Canned Tomatoes: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and stir everything together.
-
- Simmer the Curry: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let the curry simmer for 1.5-2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Step 5: Stir in the Yogurt
-
- Add the Yogurt: Once the lamb is tender, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the yogurt for a creamy finish.
-
- Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
