Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large wide pan over a high heat. Add the curry paste and stir-fry for 1 minute. Mix in the lamb and continue frying until all the pieces are well coated in the paste.
• Place the cashews in a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Add these, with the coconut milk, tomato purée and lime leaves, to the wok with the lamb and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat slightly and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes-1 hour, or until the sauce has thickened.
• Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling water for 10 minutes, or until they are just tender when tested with the tip of a knife. Drain and set aside until required (cool under cold running water if not using immediately).
• When almost ready to serve, add the cooked potatoes, fish sauce and sugar to the curry. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes, or until all the ingredients are piping hot through.
