  Sorry - this didn't really work for me. The lamb was soft but the dish seemed to be lacking any depth of flavour. In fact I ended up adding tomato puree and a homemade spicy chutney in an attempt to give it more oomph! It wasn't horrible but I won't make it again.

  Worried it wouldn't be hot enough for my spicy-as-u-like friends, I upped the cayenne pepper and cumin and swapped canned tomatoes for a rich passata sauce. Delicious - especially if you leave it to slow-cook for ages...

  Cooked this many times for friends and it always goes down a storm! Great when you tell them it's low fat too! Better than any takeaway for sure! Love the lime and coriander dip and poppadums it suggests to go with it too, gorgeous!

  A great recipe, I omitted the fresh coriander (personal preference) and cooked it in the oven gas mark 3 for one and a half hourss. Next time I'm going to try it with casserole beef.

  I absolutely love this recipe. I have cooked it number of times and it always went down extremely well. Served with home made chapati or nann, amazing.

  We enjoyed this dish but the sauce didn't reduce as much as I had hoped even after 15 minutes extra cooking time. Next time - an there will be one - I will only add half of the tomatoes to help with the thickening and to also give it a less tomatoey colour an taste.

  I was really impressed with this recipe, once I had got all the ingredients in the pan, I then put it in a casserole dish in the oven on 160c for a 3 hour cook, delicious. I would ask though could this have a heat rating, as it was very spicey - in a good way, but needs a heat rating :)
