For The Curry:

for a minute or two.
3. Now add the remaining spices (except for the Shan Meat Masala) and then the ginger garlic
paste and cook out for 5-8 minutes. Add a little water if it starts to catch.
4. Lastly add the grated fresh tomato and cook for 10 minutes. Now add the lamb and stir
through the spices and sauce. Season with salt.
5. Turn down the heat and gently cook the lamb for about half an hour, stirring regularly to
prevent it sticking and burning.
6. After half an hour, add the lemon juice and cook for another 5 minutes.
7. Check the meat texture and when nearly cooked at around 40 minutes or so. Add the Shan
Meat Masala about 5-7 minutes before it is fully cooked.
8. Check seasoning and finish with chopped fresh coriander before serving.

For The Basmati:
1. Wash your rice in a colander at least three times or until the rice no longer releases starch as
milky water when washed.
2. Place 1500ml in a pot and add the rice, spices and salt
3. Bring to a boil, then cover with a tight-fitting lid, turn down the heat to low and cook for 15-20
minutes
4. Turn off the rice and let it sit and steam for 5 minutes
5. Lastly stir through the oil to loosen up the grains
