Ingredients

  • 1kg lean lamb mince
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp medium chilli powder
  • 4 tsp ground coriander
  • 4 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • finely grated to make 4 tbsp ginger
  • 1/2 small bunch coriander, finely chopped
  • 2 small eggs
  • for frying oil
  • 1 large onion, grated
  • 300ml chicken stock
  • 200ml plus extra to serve natural yogurt
  • to serve naan breads
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 75g butter
  • 500g basmati rice
  • 800ml light chicken stock
  • 50g flaked almonds, toasted
  • a small bunch dill, chopped 
  • 1 red onion, halved and sliced
  • a handful of leaves mint, chopped
  • a handful of leaves coriander, chopped

Method

  • STEP 1

    Put the lamb in a bowl with half of all the spices, half the garlic and ginger, the coriander and the eggs. Season. Use your hands to mix everything together, then form into walnut-size meatballs. Fry in batches in the oil until browned then scoop out.

  • STEP 2

    Wipe out the pan then cook the onion, the rest of the spices, garlic and ginger in a little more oil. Fry for 5 minutes then add the stock and the meatballs. Simmer with a lid on for 15 minutes then stir in the yogurt and simmer very gently for another 5 minutes. If the yogurt splits don’t worry, it won’t affect the flavour.

  • STEP 3

    While the meatballs are simmering, cook the onion for the rice in the butter until soft. Add the rice and cook in the butter for a few minutes. Tip in the stock. Bring up to a low simmer then put on a lid and cook for 12 minutes, or until the stock has been absorbed and the rice is tender. (If the stock has been absorbed but the rice is still a little hard, add a splash of water and keep the lid on for another 5 minutes.) Stir in the almonds and dill.

  • STEP 4

    Toss the salad ingredients with a pinch of salt. Serve the curry with the salad, rice and naan.
