Lamb balti curry

Recipes Main Courses
'Balti' is not an exotic spice, but the pan (two-handled wok) the dish is cooked in – born in Birmingham's working districts in the 70s. The essence is speed and high heat (like stir-fry), unlike slowly cooked Indian curries. Fresh, intense, and juicy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Heat oil in wok until smoking. Throw in lamb cubes and fry quickly until brown (approx. 3-4 mins). Remove meat.

Tip: High heat seals meat pores and creates roasted notes (flavour bomb).
2 ✓

In same oil fry onion chunks (not until soft, keep crunchy!), add garlic, ginger, and spice mix. Fry for 1 minute.

Tip: Waking up spices is key here too.
3 ✓

Pour in tomatoes, boil, then return meat. Simmer covered on medium heat 15-20 minutes until meat is tender.

Tip: If liquid evaporates, top up with little water. Balti sauce is thick, not soupy.
4 ✓

Remove from heat, wait a minute, then stir in yoghurt and fresh coriander. Serve immediately with Naan bread.

Tip: Yoghurt adds creaminess and cools the heat.
