Madras Curry Lamb with tomato (Ahtoo Curry)

To suggest an Indian recipe for Christmas is rather unusual, but it does not matter because it’s delicious. This lamb sauté with Madras curry and tomato purée is really marvelous because it is cooked at a very low temperature, and that’s why it works. You should avoid adding water. It’s really good and becomes even better with the Warm salad with butternut and beetrootas a side dish :-) Try this recipe and you are not going to be disappointed :-) t’s a succulent dish even outside the Christmas period ;-)

In two words:

“But for the king he will rejoice in God; and all these who keep the oath they gave will receive praise, because the mouth of those who speak injustice will be closed”.

Tip

Dans la recette d’origine, ils proposent de le servir avec un peu de jus de citron mais moi j’ai évité parce que cela ne va pas avec la garniture. A la place j’ai mis un peu de fromage blanc de brebis.

o-o C'est si bon ! o-o
