Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon peanut oil
8 teaspoons Thai red curry paste
3 (12 ounce) packages diced leg of lamb
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package cashew nuts
2 (13 1/2 ounce) cans coconut milk
2 tablespoons tomato puree
4 freeze-dried thai fresh lime leaves, roughly crumbled
1 lb baby new potato, halved lengthways
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
1 tablespoon demerara sugar

  • Reduce the heat slightly and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes-1 hour, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling water for 10 minutes, or until they are just tender when tested with the tip of a knife. Drain and set aside until required (cool under cold running water if not using immediately).
  • When almost ready to serve, add the cooked potatoes, fish sauce and sugar to the curry. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes, or until all the ingredients are piping hot through.
