Questions about Lamb curry
Which cut of lamb is best for lamb curry?
Use shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces: its connective tissue softens during a long, gentle simmer and makes the sauce rich. Lean leg cooks faster but can become dry if simmered for too long.
How do you make lamb curry meat tender?
Brown the lamb in batches, then simmer it gently in the sauce with the lid on until a piece pulls apart easily, usually about 1½–2 hours for shoulder. Keep the simmer low rather than letting the sauce boil hard.
Can you make lamb curry ahead of time?
Yes. Cool it promptly, refrigerate in a covered container and use within two days; the flavour often deepens overnight. Reheat until steaming hot throughout, stirring so the meat and sauce heat evenly.
Can you freeze lamb curry?
Freeze it in meal-sized airtight containers once cooled, and use within about three months for best quality. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat until steaming hot throughout; the sauce may need stirring well if it separates slightly.
What do you serve with lamb curry?
Serve it with basmati rice, naan or chapati, plus cooling raita and a sharp chutney. A squeeze of lemon and chopped coriander can brighten a rich sauce.
How is lamb curry different from lamb rogan josh?
Lamb curry is a broad name for lamb cooked in a spiced sauce; rogan josh is a particular Kashmiri-style curry, commonly scented with warming spices and coloured red with chilli. Recipes differ, but rogan josh is not simply another name for every lamb curry.
