Lamb Coconut Curry

Lamb Coconut Curry is a recipe I normally have once a month after I have cooked roast lamb. Lamb holds the flavour of the coconut milk, oil and chillies amazingly. You can obviously use any other left over meats such as chicken, beef and pork. I just find this works incredibly well with lamb.  I normally serve this on a bed of piping hot rice, a spoonful of chutney and a homemade naan bread. All in all this is a superb dish that you family will love. Any curry remaining can be put in a airtight container when cold and stored in the fridge for the following day. Just reheat when needed.

Lamb Coconut Curry

A smooth curry that the kids love. The coconut milk adds a subtle texture and flavour that works so well with a curry.
