LEFTOVER LAMB CURRY



LEFTOVER LAMB CURRY image

Categories     Lamb

Yield people

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 pound cooked lamb, fat-trimmed
1 teaspoon salad oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Salt and cayenne
1 firm-ripe banana (6 oz.), diced
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2/3 cup chutney
1 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup dried currants

Steps:

  • 1. In a 2- to 3-quart pan, combine rice and 2 3/4 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until most of the water is absorbed, 7 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender to bite, 10 to 15 minutes longer. 2. Cut the lamb into strips about 1/4 inch thick. 3. In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium heat, combine oil, onion, and garlic; stir often until onion begins to brown lightly, 6 to 7 minutes. 4. Add curry powder and cumin and stir until spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds. 5. Stir in meat. Add 1 1/2 cups broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Mix cornstarch and 1/4 cup broth. Stir into pan and stir until boiling resumes. Add salt and cayenne to taste. Spoon curry into a bowl. 6. Place condiments - banana, yogurt, chutney, cucumber, and currants - in small bowls. Serve curry with rice and condiments to add to taste.

Tips:

  • Use leftover lamb that is cooked through and shredded or chopped into small pieces.
  • Choose a curry paste that suits your taste preferences. For a milder curry, use a green or yellow curry paste. For a spicier curry, use a red or Panang curry paste.
  • Add vegetables to your curry for extra nutrition and flavor. Good choices include potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and onions.
  • If you don't have any curry paste on hand, you can make your own using a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
  • Serve your curry with rice, noodles, or naan bread.
