Missed this the first time round. I could just eat that now Luke, looks good. I'm having curry withdrawal symptoms as i haven't had any since Saturday.

Great dish, definitely one of my all time favourites, I would love this curry right now

I am going to make this for tea tonight. Currently pre-cooking the lamb

[Onions]

Precook in base?

[LouP]

Yeah, When I make the base I try and freeze a few smaller portions for saag aloo, bombay spuds etc so I have put the small portion of base with my lamb leg steaks (cubed) in the slow cooker with a dried crushed kashmiri chilli.

Cheers!

How long do you slow cook the lamb for Lou?

[LouP]

I did it for approx 1 1/2 hours on high in the slow cooker. Went to check on it and it was amazing! Cut with a spoon, melt in the mouth and the broth left in the cooker..... well I keep going and basically drinking it,lol. Its lovely. A simple curried lamb broth and I shall add a bit of that to the base later (if there is any left)  :

It was delicious and I will defo make again
