Lamb Kofta Korma

Recipe submitted by ngizee

Pin It

This is a special curry that is sure to please. It's not too spicy and yet full of flavour. I was surprised when my fussy 4 year old polished off his plate without complaints. Baharat spice is available from Middle Eastern grocers and it is optional in this recipe although I feel it adds a wonderful sweetness to the lamb.

Serves 4 to 5

Ingredients

1kg x lamb mince
2 x tbsp baharat spice (optional)
3 x tbsp oil
3 x medium onions, sliced
1 x long chilli, deseeded and chopped

1 x tbsp coriander powder
1 x tsp white pepper powder
150g x cashews, ground into a powder
150ml x natural yoghurt

Notes & Tips

You can easily replace the lamb kofta balls with lean pieces of lamb leg or boneless chicken thigh fillets. Adjust your cooking time until the meat is tender. Always add the cream at the end so that it does not split.
