This is a delicious curry made quickly in the Instant Pot. This serves 6.

  • 3/4 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1.5tsp black peppercorns
  • 3/4 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1/4 tsp fenugreek seds
  • 3 cloves
  • 2 – 3 dried peppers

Dry-fry until they release their fragrance (i.e. start to smell). Then pound to dust in a pestle and mortar or wizz in a flash in a spice mill. I use a cheap coffee mill just for spices.

  • 1.5 onions chopped
  • dash of oil

Saute in your Instant Pot until translucent

  • 1.5 tbs grated ginger
  • 6 garlic cloves, chopped

Add to the pot and cook for another minute

  • 800g dice lean lamb

Add to the pot and turn around until coloured. Add the dry spice mix and cook for another minute. Add:

  • 2 tbs tomato puree
  • 100 ml passata
  • 200ml yoghurt
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Stir and cook on Meat setting for 40 minutes. Allow to depressurise for 15 minutes. If it is to runny, put 2tsp cornflour in a tablespoon or two of water, and stir in briskly. We ate this with saffron rice and Josh’s Dhal
