Here’s how to make this amazing Leftover Lamb Kofta Curry

Ingredients:

For the Lamb Koftas

400g leftover lamb (I used my roast lamb)
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
3tbsp breadcrumbs
1tsp cumin
1 egg
30g fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
sunflower oil for frying

For the curry sauce

1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2tsp turmeric
1tsp garam amasala
2tsp paprika
1tsp cinnamon
1tsp cumin
1tsp black pepper
100ml tomato puree
80ml double cream
salt to taste
fresh coriander for serving
fresh lime for serving, if wished

Preparation:

To make the koftas – in a bowl, combine all the ingredients together and mix well. Make the meatballs, as big as you wish and fry them in a heated pan with sunflower oil for 5 minutes, turning them constantly. As I’ve used cooked lamb, I’ve only browned the meatballs but if you choose to use raw meat, make sure to cook it thoroughly.
Leave them on a plate with kitchen towel to drain the excess oil.

Next, prepare the curry sauce – heat a pan with the oil and sweat the onion and garlic for a few minutes, add the spices, mix well and pour over a litre of water. Add the tomato puree and leave to simmer for about 15 minutes.
Add the meatballs in the curry sauce and leave for another 10 minutes on a low heat. Stir in the double cream and remove from the hob.
Serve with some basmati rice and/or Naan bread. Also, I like adding fresh coriander, lime juice and some chillies, of course. 🤪

Enjoy!
