Lamb Curry
Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver, from Happy Days with the Naked Chef, (c) 2002
Show:  Happy Days Live
Episode:  Pasta and Curry
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (5 1/2 pound) (2 1/2 kilogram) leg of lamb, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
3 fresh green chiles, seeded and thinly sliced
1 handful curry leaves
2 thumb-sized pieces fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely grated
3 onions, peeled
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
6 tomatoes, chopped
1 to 2 wine glasses water
1 (14-ounce) (400 milliliters) can coconut milk
Salt

Heat the oil in a pan and sear the lamb. Add the mustard seeds, wait for them to pop, then add the fenugreek seeds, fresh chiles, curry leaves, and ginger. Stir and fry for a few minutes.

Using a food processor, chop the onions and add to the pan. Continue to cook for 5 minutes until the onions are light brown and soft, then add the chili powder and turmeric. Put the tomatoes into the food processor, pulse, and add them to the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add 1 or 2 wine glasses of water and the coconut milk. Simmer until the lamb is tender and the sauce has the consistency of double cream, then season carefully with salt.
