Janet’s Lamb Curry with Butternut and Aubergine

Adding vegetables is a great way to ‘stretch’ meat and add flavour. We have been using this twice cooked method very successfully. Firstly, a long, slow cook for the meat, followed by the addition of sautéed vegetables and the Tikka Curry Sauce. The ideal way to guarantee tender meat, fresh tasting vegetables and an aromatic sauce.

You Will Need:

  • 800 g - 1 kg lamb knuckles
  • Ina Paarman's Masala Spice
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 t (10 ml) Ina Paarman's Green Onion Seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • canola oil
  • butter
  • 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup (250 ml) water

Method:

Adjust the oven rack to one slot below the middle position and preheat the oven to 160 °C.

Season the lamb knuckles with Masala Spice.

Season the onions with Green Onion Seasoning. Using a medium size heavy based ovenproof dish with a lid, heat 1 T (15 ml) canola oil and 1 T (15 ml) butter and sauté the onions. Add the garlic and stir-fry for a few seconds.

Add chopped tomatoes, water and Chicken Stock Powder.

Add the lamb knuckles (no need to brown) and stir in. Cover with a lid and cook for ± 2 hours.
