Ultimate Lamb Curry - Tyler Florence image

From "Tyler's Ultimate," episode "Ultimate Indian Dinner." Fresh curry leaves (or frozen) may be found in Indian, Pakistani or Asian markets. Use fresh, rather than dried, bay leaves if you can find them. Serve with basmati rice; add salt and a couple of thick slices of fresh ginger to the water while steaming the rice for added flavor.

I made this curry in my slow cooker and it turned out perfect. The lamb was so tender and the sauce was so flavorful.

This curry is a bit spicy, but I love it that way. If you're not a fan of spicy food, you can always reduce the amount of chili powder.

I love that this recipe uses yogurt instead of coconut milk. It gives the curry a creamier texture.

I've tried many lamb curry recipes, but this one is by far the best. The spices are perfectly balanced and the yogurt adds a nice tang.
