Tip

Fresh turmeric and curry leaves can be found at Asian grocers or specialty spice stores and some supermarkets - both freeze well so when you see them, grab some - that way you will always have them on hand. Dried turmeric would also work fine although fresh gives a greater depth of flavour. Pea eggplants can be harder to find but ordinary eggplant works well too.

    Cooked first time for friend & hubby who loved the flavours. Used 1.6 kg shoulder lamb and substituted eggplant with 4 x quartered squash, thick slices from 3 potatoes and 8 x French shallot. So happy with the result - definitely a repeat recipe for winter.

    This was amazing. The meat wasn't as tender as I hoped but the flavours were out of this world. I had no expectations since I don't know what a trad madras tastes like but I'll definitely make it again. Kids thought it was OK, hubby gave it 4.2, but thy're fussy buggers.

  • This was really great. I slow

    Submitted by jaybel87 on 22. October 2016 - 19:09.

    This was really great. I slow cooked mine in my le crueset for a few hours longer at 150 and it turned out great, I also only used 1.5kg lamb shoulder and the amount worked well. I used a bottle of passata. Served with thermie naan bread

  • Unfortunately, I didn't

    Unfortunately, I didn't realise that this was the same recipe adapted from the Donna Hay magazine until I was most of the way through making the paste. It certainly didn't taste like a Madras and I ended up changing the flavour entirley to something that I liked. My fault, I should have read it properly

  • This was yummo! Thankyou!!I

    Submitted by jlhayward on 25. July 2014 - 14:36.

    This was yummo! Thankyou!!I used 650g 1-inch cubed eggplant, and a 1.3 kg lamb leg. Only had 1 can chopped tomatoes, so added 200g extra (lamb) stock. Didn't have any fresh turmeric, so 1/2 tablespoon dried turmeric. Also used lamb stock instead of stock paste. Eggplant prep (cos the others in my family are sensitive to the bitter taste lol): salted and left on a tilted tray for several hours to draw&drain the bitter juices out, then rinsed thoroughly in a colander. And then squeezed handfuls of eggplant to get juice out before adding to pot. Some of the saltiness will carry through to dish, so go easy on the stock paste if you're using it in combo with eggplant prep. I'd prefer to use a salt-less stock liquid in this case so I can control the seasoning better! tmrc_emoticons.)

    At the end of the cooking time, the meat was drying out on top, but wasn't soft yet, so I turned the temp down to 100fanforced, and left it to cook for another couple of hours, spooning juices over the meat every now and then. Until the meat was falling off the bone, and the liquid had reduced to a good consistency.

    Thanks for a delicious recipe!!! tmrc_emoticons.)
