Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- 2 cm ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 3 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 3 teaspoons garam masala
- 400 ml passata (or chopped tinned tomatoes)
- 200 ml coconut milk (I use light coconut milk)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 600 g Diced lamb (I find diced lamb shoulder works best, but diced lamb leg works fine too, if that’s all you can get hold of or if you prefer a less fatty cut)
- 1 red (bell) pepper chopped into bitesize pieces (See Note 1)
- 1 green (bell) pepper chopped into bitesize pieces (See Note 1)
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) roughly chopped – plus extra for garnish

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160C / 140C fan / gas mark 3 / 325F.
- Place the oil and sliced onion in a flameproof, ovenproof pan (see Note 2). Cook gently with the lid on for about 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the garlic, ginger, chilli flakes, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika and garam masala, and gently fry, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
- Add the passata, coconut milk, salt, pepper, diced lamb and chopped peppers. Stir and bring to the boil.
- Put a lid on the pan and place in your preheated oven (see Note 2).
- Cook the curry in the oven for 2 hours 30 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure it’s not getting dry. (If it gets too dry, simply add a splash more water and stir, before replacing the lid and returning to the oven.)
- (Alternatively transfer the curry to your slow cooker and cook for 6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.)
- Remove from the oven and stir in the fresh coriander (cilantro).
- Garnish with extra fresh coriander leaves and serve with pilau rice and naan bread.
Notes
- Do not cut the peppers up too small or they will almost dissolve into this curry – keep the pepper pieces a bit chunky!
- I use a Le Creuset-style cast iron casserole dish*, (AKA dutch oven) which can go on the hob and in the oven. If you don’t have a pan that can go on the hob and in the oven, simply start this curry in a regular saucepan and then tip it into a (lidded) ovenproof dish to go into the oven.
- Suitable for freezing.
