  This was great with our home made garam masala and a cold beer.

  This is a delicious recipe. I will add some chilli next time to give it a little kick! I cooked mine in the oven for a couple of hours instead of on the hob.

  fab recipe made a bit special by using the mash instead of rice. Used the mash with sausages and gravy for a different midweek treat.

  A lovely dish. I served it with brown rice instead of the mash. Next time I make it I will use the mash and will leave out the spinach. A really filling tasty meal.

  This is incredibly good, took longer than I'd normally spend on a mid-week meal but once the lamb is cooking you can walk away & leave it. Next time I'll try it in the slow cooker. In fact, this was so good we shared the whole amount between 2 of us which I probably shouldn't admit.

  This was lovely though I possibly added slightly too much of the spices. I made enough for 2 portions of the lamb mixture and tomorrow I'm going to try it with rice and stir the yoghurt into the curry sauce. It might also go well with pitta bread

  Fab recipe. I had some lamb stewing meat and rather than make the usual stew with it, I fancied a curry. This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. I doubled the quantities (so that I could make some portions for the freezer) and fried the meat to seal it and then chucked it all in the slow cooker - it came out beautifully. However, both my husband and I felt it needed a bit of heat. I've just taken one of the freezer portions out and added some hot chilli powder to it, and it is now what you can call a curry! I served ours with brown basmatti rice and a plain naan bread. Really great tasting, hearty meal - can't wait to raid the freezer again!

  Very very nice! I discoverd that there was no masala in my cupboard, so I added a little bit of the curry paste to the curry. Perfect. I made it one day ahead without the chickpeas and spinach. I added that during reheating and served it with sliced cucumber, chives and vinegar to chill the mouth a little bit. The dinerguest and my partner almost licked their plates!! Douze points!! :o)

  This meal is really tastey, but takes such a long time to cook! After cooking a couple of times, I've started making a bigger batch and freezing it!

  Sorry, I am not English and struggling a bit with the last sentence. Could someone help me, please? "Stir through the curry paste and yogurt, and serve alongside the curry" Does that mean I have to mix the curry paste and yogurt into potato mash?

  Yes, margetter. Once you've made the mash, add the curry paste and yoghurt, and mix together. This will give you your 'masala mash'.
