Delicious and super healthy Lamb Curry

Oh my!! Finally, I know!! My all time favourite lamb curry recipe has arrived! At last!

I know quite a few friends and keen fans of Ramona’s Cuisine have been asking and waiting for my lamb curry recipe. I feel terribly bad for not prioritising this but only time is to blame.

Time is unfairly flying, way too fast and I’ve had so many exciting recipes that I wanted to share! …. But here it is at last, the much awaited VIC (very important curry) recipe of this wonderful and much awaited for – lamb curry.

Oh, la, la!! This healthy lamb curry is a heck of a dish that anyone I know LOVES it big time.

It’s been sometime now since my love for Asian cuisine started. I would be lost without curry nowadays. Curries, in general, are so delicious and super healthy as far as I am concerned, especially when cooked the way I do, no frying, no tampering, no oil added. You cannot go wrong. I know, people that like it traditionally cooked might say this isn’t great, just try!

I was very lucky to have an old friend that I’ve learned how to cook a lot of Sri Lankan dishes from. And not long after….. I’ve met and married my darling Sri Lankan hubby.

Asian food! Oh my!! Have I not known about it or refuse to try it, I would have been loosing out big time. Thankfully, I love food and I’m always open to trying new dishes.

Sri Lankan cuisine I must say – it stood and still stands out for me a great deal. The simplicity and the flavours just totally blow me away.

I do enjoy my curries a great deal as you may have guessed. I must have one almost every week in order to feel complete and totally happy with my life. Ha ha. I’m lucky my lovely hubby cooks a nice curry every now and again for me too. He cooks whenever that very rare occurrence that I don’t fancy cooking arrises, which is really nice.

I love cooking a curry which I have to admit I’m not cooking it very traditionally all the way because the only aspect that I ‘suffer’ from is the frying…. and…. in Asian cuisine…. frying is THE thing.  

The issue with that is that whenever eat fried and/or too oily food I do feel it greatly after. My digestive system just cannot have it, so I had to adapt it and it works. It works for my husband to the extent that he never has a heartburn after which is great.

Healthy Lamb curry…

Well, my curries always have a twist, a healthy twist. They involve NO frying and have NO added oil which is why I am saying they are super healthy.

Additional to all that extraordinary ingredients like the turmeric, ginger, garlic, and all that seeds and curry, cumin and garam masala powders which are so amazing.

Oh yes, you may think I’ve lost the plot but I can reassure you they come out delicious and you would not say there is a difference. My curries in general are as authentic as the traditionally cooked ones by my Sri Lankan friends or family.

Here are some more curry recipes that you may like, try this Thai duck curry or why not try this Ox tongue curry or a seafood one like this squid curry. All delicious and super healthy made from scratch food.

I just can’t wait to go to Sri Lanka, the only thing is I fear I might not want to come back. My husband is really afraid of that 😉 the reason why perhaps he is postponing it, but I will, I will go, very, very soon and I will tell you all about it when I come back mainly with a pad filled with recipes. I actually CANNOT wait!
I must have made this curry about 10,000 times so here is the recipe folks. Here is how I make it!

Ingredients

  • 800 g lamb meat (cubed) approx 2 pounds
  • 1  large  onion
  • 3  tbsp  curry powder  (for hot)
  • 1  green chili  (fresh- for extra hot)
  • 1/2  tsp  seeds  (mixed)
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 8-10  curry leaves (fresh, frozen or dry)
  • 2/3  tbsp  tomato puree
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tbsp garam masala
  • 1  can tomato  (chopped)
  • 2  cloves  garlic
  • 1/4  pepper  (freshly ground)
  • 1  tsp  ginger  (grated)
  • 1/2  lemon  (its juice)
  • 1  tsp  salt
Metric – US Imperial

Instructions

  • Cut the washed lamb meat into chunks/pieces.  I usually cut the meat into small cubes of about 1 cm sq. Add the salt, the curry powder and mix well to coat the meat. Set aside for as long as you wish but, the longer the meat marinades the better.
  • Meanwhile, peel, wash and chop the onion. Wash the fresh chilli, peel, crush and chop the garlic. Set aside ready for action.
  • Place a cooking pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and a little water or oil if you wish. As you know I do not fry so I would drizzle some water just enough to help the onion cook and soften slightly. You can cover to speed up the softening by using its own steam to cook the onion.
  • Add to the onion the seeds and the fresh chilli(s) cut into halves lengthwise. Cook for one minute or two until the water has run out and the onion becomes nice and soft. All in all cook for about 3 mins.
  • Add the meat which has marinated for a while (even overnight if you can – it’s amazing), add some water (approx 100-200ml depending on how juicy you want your curry to be) and stir. Cover and cook for about 15-20 min.
  • Add the chopped tomato, the tomato paste, the crushed and chopped garlic, the curry leaves, the grated ginger, the garam masala, turmeric and cumin powders and grind some black/mixed pepper.  Stir and cook for another 10-12 min covered or uncovered. I prefer uncovered so that the juices reduce slightly.
  • Remove from heat, allow to cool for 2 min and give the lemon a good old squeeze making sure no pips are going into the curry as those are not pleasant to bite into.

Notes

Serve on a nice basmati or jasmine rice or with my lovely  homemade flat bread and along side a beautiful  dhal. Oh, absolutely delicious – there is nothing more I could say. A winner every time, any day, any time. 
Trim the meat of any visible fat when cutting and preparying it for the curry.. Ideally would be to use meat that has bone on such as a lamb leg or shoulder ( although the shoulder has got less meat and more bone). I usually use lamb leg and I get the butcher to slice it. The bones give that extra delicious taste. 
 As you can see lamb curry is an aromatic mix of fresh ginger, spices that is super easy to prepare and have ready in no time. … All you will need is some super healthy ingredients like turmeric, garam masala, cumin and chilli powder, some mixed seeds the rest is ingredients that you would have in the kitchen as staples.
Also, when finished, skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce, then you could add some coriander or chopped spinach if you fancy to make it even more fragrant and redolent.
Super healthy Lamb Curry
 
 More about the seeds mix …..
In almost all my curries (with very little exceptions) use a seed mix of cumin, fennel, mustard, fenugreek, black sesame and about 10% caraway seeds which can be bought separately in any Asian or even supermarket, a good online wholefood or street specialized on spices store. I mix these in pretty much equal quantities apart from caraway ones. Of course you can mix and match them as you wish and if there is any flavor that you don’t like, just leave it out and this is the beauty of this as you create your own best liked mix. Mix them all and store in a jar. This seed combo goes very well with any meat or vegetable curry.
 …. and the curry powder
 I usually use is a mixture of ground red chili, turmeric, fennel, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, clove, curry leaves, ginger and black pepper. I buy a  Sri-Lankan make which is generally hot and very flavorsome as they do a really good and balanced mix that is just perfect for my taste.

      Thank you Brian,
      I seriously would send you some if allowed via post. I have a big bag of organic dry curry leaves that I can happily share. Now I’ve got a little curry leaves tree in house that I look after – came all the way from Sri Lanka couple of years back – nothing like fresh leaves but so hard to get nowadays even here. No longer available in supermarket big stores like tesco Sainsbury’s etc. Not quite sure why.
      Let me know if you want me to send you some – will happily do that. Shame we don’t drive to Romania this summer – would have brought you some. ??

When you will be going to Sri Lanka you will taste the real stuff – they cook pretty hot curries and when you will make it to Lndon, a curry will be waiting for you over here 😉 Happy cooking lovely. 😉

    Your curry looks scrumptious Ramona and I’d love to dip some of your flatbread in the sauce! I don’t make my curry mixes for lack of info about what they are made of but anyway I would also have a problem finding the curry leaves. I will try your way with my Moroccan micnext time I make a curry and serve it with your flatbread!

      I do not like frying and I do avoid as much as possible – I never fry my onion in any dish unless I want to add some extra flavour of caramelised onion which I would do separately. No, you will definitely not miss the oil, the meat contains more than the needed fats and oils 😉

    Yum! I a positively drooling looking a this recipe! The spice mix that you’ve used to season your curry sounds delightful! I would make this recipe for dinner and be glad to eat it for several days in a row. It looks like it will work beautifully for meal prep!

    I’ve been a big fan of lamb the last 6 years or so but they’re not easy to come by so I don’t eat it as much. But your recipe sounds so delicious and reminds me of a place I used to go to when I lived in Philadelphia. Thanks for sharing Ramona!

      Hi Marta, I am so happy you liked the recipe and it is now a regular dinner in your home. Lamb wasn’t a meat I consumed as a child it was an Easter meat more or less and I never understood why, it is such a delicious meat. I love it now and eat it quite often here. It is definitely the best meat to make a good old curry with. Delicious!

    Loved this recipe and you have used here ingredients I never used before. I am lucky I have a Sri Lankan grocery shop near my house. Went and bought everything these including all these seeds. OMG, the flavours in this curry are incredible. Will be making this a staple in my house and definitely cook lamb more often. Can I make this same gravy for a chicken curry too?

      Hi Caroline
      I thought I did mention the mix in the recipes notes. No, they’re not peppercorns. I will check to make sure I did mention in the recipe as this is important.
      I normally use a mix of cumin seeds, fenugreek, fennel, mustard seeds and Nigella seeds (black sesame), all available here to buy separately. I normally have them all mixed into a jar that I use over and over again.

          Yes of course you can skip that part or you can add a clove or two. A cardamom pod if you want for extra flavour but that’s not necessary if the curry powder will do the trick. Enjoy 😉 and let me know how you liked it.

    Hey, thanks for this delicious lamb curry recipe Ramona. I have given my curry lover girlfriend a real surprise with making this and it came out absolutely wonderful. It is definitely not the way I was making my curry before but now I have actually changed my style and will keep it this way. I just need to make it a couple of times just for practice before becoming the expert so I can move on to making it for my extended family. I am impressed with how easy was to make it. Please bring more recipes on! I have seen some more here on your site that I want to try. Really love your style and matches so much with our taste too. Cheers!

Cooking in general has to be easy and pretty quick too. I am also impressed you want to master the recipe to make it for your extended family. Lamb curry is probably one of the best curries you can have/make. We just love it!
