Notes
- You can use beef (braising steak) instead of lamb in this recipe.
- This recipe uses Indian spices but you could easily replace them with a little store-bought curry paste.
- If you like your curries on the spicy side, add some hot curry powder (such as Madras).
- You can leave the cauliflower out and instead serve this curry over cauliflower rice.
- Make it Slimming Friendly! This recipe is pretty low in syns with some minor tweaks. Replace the ghee with Fry Light spray. Light coconut milk is 8 syns per 200ml, divided by four this is 2 syns per serving. Ground almonds are quite high in syns, 15 for 50g, however 25g is allowed as a healthy ‘b’ extra. You can replace the ground almonds with cornflour which is only 1 syn per tablespoon. Serve with steamed basmati rice (free).
