Ingredients
- 800g lamb shoulder, diced
- 200g fresh kale, chopped
- 400ml coconut milk
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp chili powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced lamb with curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the lamb evenly with the spices.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or deep pan over medium-high heat. Add the spiced lamb and cook until browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return the browned lamb to the pot with the onion, garlic, and ginger mixture. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 45 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.
- While the lamb is cooking, use a food processor to finely chop the kale if it's not already chopped. After the lamb has cooked for 45 minutes, add the chopped kale to the pot and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 10 minutes until the kale is tender.
- Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh chopped coriander.
