Lam Karahi (Korai / Karai#0

Dish description

This lamb karahi recipe (or karai) is a classic Indian curry with tender lamb pieces coated in a beautifully spiced curry sauce. This is a relatively “dry” curry so your sauce should be nice and thick.

It is relatively easy to cook and if you don’t have a base curry sauce available you can use chopped tomatoes.

A ‘karahi’ is a type of cooking pot popular in Indian cooking. Don’t worry though, you don’t need a karahi to make this delicious dish – a large frying pan, wok or saucepan will do.
