Lamb Sauce recipe image

This rich Indian-style lamb sauce delivers deep, aromatic flavors with every bite. The base is built from caramelized onions, ginger, garlic, and warm spices blended into a smooth, luxurious puree. Sultanas add a subtle sweetness that balances the heat of the chili, while yogurt brings a creamy texture that tenderizes the meat. Slow simmering allows the lamb to become fork-tender, soaking up the complex spices. It’s a comforting, hearty dish perfect for family dinners or cozy nights in. Serve over fluffy basmati rice for a complete meal that feels both indulgent and home-cooked.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large deep pan over medium heat and fry the onion for 10-15 minutes until golden and soft.

  3. Place the remaining onion mixture into a food processor with the ginger, garlic, nuts, chili, curry powder, tomato purée, and yogurt.
  4. Blend until smooth to create the sauce base.
  5. Heat the remaining oil in the pan and add the lamb, cooking until browned all over.
  6. Pour the blended sauce over the lamb and cook, stirring constantly, for a few minutes.
  7. Cover with a lid or foil and simmer gently for 1 hour until the meat is tender.
  8. Meanwhile, cook the rice in a pan with stock, bringing to a boil before reducing to a simmer.
  9. Add the saffron and soaking water, cover, and leave for 10 minutes.
  10. Turn off the heat, leave covered for another 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  11. Serve the lamb sauce over the rice, scattering the reserved fruit and onion mixture on top.
