Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive or rapeseed oil
- 2 onions sliced
- 3 garlic cloves grated or crushed
- 3 cm ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or to taste, or use fresh chillies, if you prefer)
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds ground
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds ground
- 2 teaspoons Turmeric
- 3 teaspoons garam masala
- 600 g diced lamb leg
- 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red pepper sliced
- 1 green pepper sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander plus extra for garnish (optional)
- Pilau rice, cauliflower rice, plain rice or naan breads to serve
- Pickles and/or chutneys to serve optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C / 160C fan/ gas mark 4 / 350F.
- Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of oil into a large ovenproof saucepan or cast iron casserole dish. Add the onion and cook on a gentle heat, with the lid on, for about 3 minutes, until the onions are softened but not brown.
- Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, cumin, coriander, turmeric & garam masala. Stir well and cook for 2 more minutes with the lid off. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry.
- Next add in the lamb. Stir well to coat the meat in the onions and spices and then add the tomatoes, plus salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the curry to the boil and then put the lid on and put in your preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes add the sliced green and red peppers, stir well and continue cooking in the oven for another 45 minutes (1 hour 30 in total).
- Serve with plain boiled rice, pilau rice or Indian spiced cauliflower rice and/or naan breads

Notes
- I have only used one teaspoon of chilli flakes in my recipe – which results in a medium strength curry – as I like to make my food family friendly and this is about as hot as my kids can handle! However normally jalfrezi is a little hotter than this, so do put in more chilli if you like your jalfrezi hot!!
- Suitable for freezing.
