11 lamb curry recipes that will make you 😋 and you'll come back to again and again
Looking for a simple curry recipe? We've pulled together our best lamb recipes for a fragrant feast. Enjoy!
Whether it's around Easter time or not, lamb is a brilliant meat to have in a curry. Its high fat content means that it will stay succulent during cooking and is unlikely to dry out.
We have a curry sauce for all tastes, from a beetroot base to a classic korma - your next dinner party is sorted!
If you have any leftover lamb, either from Easter Sunday or a Sunday roast, then there's a curry to use it up. Plus, it only takes 15min to prep and then you leave it to simmer away, resulting in a rich and unctuous meal.
If you're more of a fan of lamb mince, then we even have a curry for you and this one is super speedy as the mince cooks so quickly.
