Traditionally the meat for tikka masala is marinated in yoghurt to ensure it is tender and juicy. The meat is then grilled over the coals or prepared like a stew. In our version, we cook the curry in a slow cooker – easy and delicious.
Keep a slow cooker or crockpot handy.
1. Meat Season the lamb with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle the spices over and rub into the meat. Transfer the meat to a marinating dish and cover with yoghurt. Mix well and marinate in the fridge for 2-4 hours or overnight.
2. Curry Put all the ingredients, apart from the stock, in the slow cooker and mix. Remove the meat from the yoghurt – scrape off any excess yoghurt – and add the meat to the pot.
3. Add the stock, replace the lid and simmer for 4 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.
4. To finish Add coconut milk and season with salt. Garnish with coriander and fresh chilli (if using).
