Lamb Curry Recipe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I grabbed a bag of meat out of the freezer to defrost. I knew I had a busy day lined up the next day and so wanted something on hand to quickly put together for a hearty and filling meal once I got home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bag I grabbed I thought was some stewing beef, as through tired eyes I didn't think to check the label. But later the next day when I got home ready to cook the casserole I had planned. I realised it was actually the bag of boneless lamb chunks I had taken out instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a problem though, as I just scrapped the casserole idea and instead decided to combine the lamb with some leftover light coconut milk in the fridge to make a delicious Bombay Lamb Curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut Lamb Curry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the things I love about Bombay Style Curries is the addition of coconut milk, which gives it that lovely creamy silky appearance to the sauce and really balances out the spices and heat from the chiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light coconut milk (canned) works perfectly, it still has the creaminess of regular coconut milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut drinking milk that comes in a carton is not recommended. It has too high a water content and will dilute out the sauce too much, not giving it that silky creamy appearance that you expect with a curry like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instant Pot Lamb Curry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I cooked this in the Instant Pot<\/a><\/strong>, but it can easily be adapted for stove top, of which I will post directions for too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wondering what an Instant<\/a> Pot<\/a> <\/strong>is? It's a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute's, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge. Things that would normally take hours can be cooked in minutes. So it is great for batch cooking days when you want to get some tubs of prepared meal frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of other makes of Electric Pressure Cookers<\/a><\/strong> available and most will do the same as the Instant Pot, so pick when that caters to your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of cooking in a pressure cooker, is it saves so much time but the meat is lovely and tender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
