Tips:

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs to create a curry that is uniquely yours. Some good options include garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
  • If you don't have any leftover lamb, you can use other types of meat, such as chicken, beef, or pork. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Serve the curry with a side of rice, naan bread, or roti. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or raita for a cooling effect.
