LAMB & MANGO CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the onions, ginger and garlic in a food processor and blitz to a paste. If you don't have a processor, just chop very finely. Heat the oil in a deep flameproof casserole dish and fry the paste for 10 mins. Add some salt, the spices and tomato purée, then fry for 2-3 mins more until aromatic.
• Stir in the lamb and cook for a few mins until it changes colour all over - it doesn't need to brown. Tip in the coconut milk, tomatoes and 100ml water, and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid, leaving a gap for some steam to escape, and transfer to the oven for 1½ hrs.
• Stir in half the mangoes, and cook for 1 hr more until the lamb is melting and tender. When it's ready, let the curry sit for 10 mins, then spoon off any excess fat from the top. Partly stir in the remaining mangoes, scatter with the coriander and drizzle with the reserved coconut milk. Serve with rice, chutneys and pickles of your choice.

LEFTOVER LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Using a food processor (if you have one), finely chop the onion, apple, celery and garlic.
• Melt the butter in a skillet and cook the vegetables until softened but not browned.
• Stir in the curry powder and thyme; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Stir in the chicken stock and tomatoes; simmer for two minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper; add more curry powder if desired.
• For a smooth sauce, puree in the food processor and pour back into the skillet.
• Add the lamb to the skillet; cover and simmer until the lamb is heated through, about 10 minutes, adding a little more stock if the sauce is too thick.
• Serve over rice.

LAMB MADRAS CURRY

Steps:

• Toast the coriander seeds over medium-low heat until they begin to turn brown and pop. Repeat the toasting process with the cumin seeds, then with the dried red peppers. Transfer each ingredient to a food processor or spice grinder as you finish. Add the salt and grind to a fine powder. Mix with the garlic and ginger to form a thick paste.
• Sprinkle the turmeric over the lamb, stirring lightly to coat. Toast the fennel seeds as above and set aside. Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat with the ghee and vegetable oil; cook the onions until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in your curry paste and fry for 1 minute. Stir in the meat and fry for 1 minute more. Pour in 2/3 of the can of coconut milk and 1 cup of water; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the remaining coconut milk and 1 cup of water, along with the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and toasted fennel seeds. Cover with the lid ajar and return to a simmer, cook for about 1 1/2 hours until the lamb is tender. Stir occasionally and thin with water if the sauce becomes too thick while cooking.
• When the lamb is tender, stir in garam masala, sugar, and the tamarind paste dissolved in 3 tablespoons of water; cook 5 minutes longer, or until the sauce thickens. Remove the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods before serving.

LAMB WITH MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the curried mango sauce: Pour the oil into a medium-size saucepan over medium heat and, when it gets hot, add the garlic, ginger and onions. Cook until the onions are very soft and beginning to caramelize, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garam masala, coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper and stir as the spices toast and become aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the mango puree and stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper and then let simmer for about 15 minutes. Keep warm.
• For the crusted lamb rack: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a baking pan. Mix the fenugreek, coriander, garam masala, fennel, paprika, salt and pepper together in a shallow dish. Then press the lamb rack into it, rolling it back and forth making sure it is well coated. Place in the prepared pan and roast until it reaches the desired level of doneness, 15 to 20 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest before slicing. Serve the lamb with the mango sauce.
