Method
Put the lamb cubes into a large plastic food bag, add the curry paste and toss to coat the lamb. Seal and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour, if time allows.Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish with a lid and cook the onion, garlic, ginger and spices for 2-3 minutes or until soft and lightly golden.
Add the lamb with the curry paste and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, stock and chilli (if used). Cover and cook for 1-1½hours or until the meat is tender, stirring occasionally. Season if required.
Remove the cinnamon stick and serve with pilau rice, naan bread and a chutney of your choice.
Tips:
A jar of prepared curry sauce works well too. Simply omit the chopped tomatoes and stock.
