If you are looking for a hearty and easy meal, add this Coconut Lamb Curry to your rotation ASAP. It’s an effortless one-pot meal loaded with bright flavors. Packed with tender lamb, hearty veggies and warming spices, it is doused in coconut milk and cooked low and slow until aromatic and mouthwatering. Getting its flavor and heat from a combination of mild yellow curry powder and garam masala, it’s not as hot as some Indian curries. You can cook it either on the stovetop or in your trusty slow cooker.
To make the lamb curry in a slow cooker, first, brown the lamb in a skillet. Then, add the onions and garlic and sauté until soft. Next, transfer the lamb mixture to the slow cooker and add all the remaining ingredients. Cover with a lid, and cook for 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low. If the curry is too thick, add some water to thin it out. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with steamed rice and garlic naan
To make this Coconut Lamb Curry, you’ll need the following ingredients:
In a 4-quart Dutch oven or a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for 2 minutes over medium high until the oil starts to sizzle. Add in 1 pound cubed lamb and stir well. Cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
Add 1 finely chopped onion and 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Cook until tender, about 2 minutes.
Add 2 teaspoons garam masala powder, 1 teaspoon yellow curry powder, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to coat the lamb, and cook for another 3 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon tomato paste and 1 can coconut milk. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 1 to 1 ½ hours until the lamb is fork-tender. Stick a fork into the meat. If the fork comes out with little or no resistance, it's fork-tender.
Add the chopped potatoes and carrots and bring to a simmer, uncovered. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and carrots start to soften, about 35 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup cauliflower and cook until the cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and let it rest, about 20 minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve over steamed rice.
