My favourite curry has to be lamb curry. I simply love lamb!
This lamb curry has the perfect amount of heat, and it’s cooked until the meat is tender and the flavours are just incredible. This is what a mutton or lamb curry should be, with a lovely spicy gravy and soft-cooked potatoes. Ah, I simply love it. Here is my Durban mutton curry recipe.
