Notes

You can use beef (braising steak) instead of lamb in this recipe.
This recipe uses Indian spices but you could easily replace them with a little store-bought curry paste.
If you like your curries on the spicy side, add some hot curry powder (such as Madras).
You can leave the cauliflower out and instead serve this curry over cauliflower rice.
Make it Slimming Friendly! This recipe is pretty low in syns with some minor tweaks. Replace the ghee with Fry Light spray. Light coconut milk is 8 syns per 200ml, divided by four this is 2 syns per serving. Ground almonds are quite high in syns, 15 for 50g, however 25g is allowed as a healthy ‘b’ extra. You can replace the ground almonds with cornflour which is only 1 syn per tablespoon. Serve with steamed basmati rice (free).
