How To Make Indian Takeaway Style Lamb Jaipuri Curry
Making this lamb jaipuri curry is so quick and easy! And, with curry broth in the fridge or freezer, it takes just a few minutes too. First, chopped onion, green pepper and mushrooms are fried. Next, curry broth is added along with garlic ginger paste, dried fenugreek leaves, cooked lamb pieces and more, and the sauce is simmered until rich, thick and delicious before being finished with an indulgent touch of cream.
Step 1: Fry Vegetables
Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oill in a frying pan or curry pan over a medium heat. Add 1/2 small onion, sliced, 1/4 green pepper, sliced and 3 small button mushrooms, sliced. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Step 2: Cook Jaipuri Curry
Add 80 millilitres curry broth, 1 teaspoon garlic ginger paste, 1 teaspoon tomato puree, 1/4 teaspoon mild red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves (methi), pinch sea salt and 1 small handfull fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped. Bring to the boil. Add 8-9 pieces slow cooked lamb for curry dishes and another 80 millilitres curry broth. Mix well and simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 3: Serve
Add the remaining 80 millilitres curry broth and 1 tablespoon single cream. Simmer for another 2 minutes until the jaipuri curry sauce is medium thick. Transfer the lamb jaipuri curry to a serving bowl and finish with a little more fresh coriander. Serve with your favourite Indian rice and breads.
Recipe Tips For Indian Takeaway Style Lamb Jaipuri Curry
Vegetarian Alternative: Use tinned / cooked chickpeas or cubed paneer instead of cooked lamb.
Cooking The Curry Sauce: Each time the curry broth is added, let it simmer well and caramelise in the pan. You’ll see the sauce change colour slightly as it cooks. You can do this with even better results using a curry pan.
More Curry Sauce: If the jaipuri curry sauce becomes thick too quickly (or if you like more jaipuri curry sauce to mop up with plain chapatis), you can add a few tablespoons of water while the sauce is simmering.
