Ingredients
- 500 g diced lean leg of lamb any visible fat removed
- 2 medium red onions peeled and finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
- 2 cm piece of root ginger peeled and finely chopped
- 1 small red chilli
- 1 tbsp garam masala powder
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp mild chilli powder
- 400 ml coconut dairy-free milk alternative
- 2 tbsp ground almonds
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp white granulated sweetener or sugar
- 2 tbsp reduced-fat cream cheese
- low-calorie cooking spray
To garnish (optional)
- 1 tbsp toasted flaked almonds
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, stalks removed and roughly chopped
Instructions
-
Spray a medium frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and red chilli, and fry gently for 5-10 minutes – stirring, until softened.
-
Add the diced lamb, garam masala, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander and chilli powder. Stir well and fry gently for 2-3 minutes, until the lamb is sealed on all sides, then transfer to the slow cooker.
-
Add the coconut dairy-free milk alternative, ground almonds, salt and sweetener or sugar and stir well. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until the lamb is very tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened.
-
Turn the slow cooker off and stir in the cream cheese, until completely blended. Scatter a few toasted flaked almonds and chopped coriander leaves on top, if using, and serve with a small portion of steamed basmati rice (or other accompaniments of choice!).
