    So easy and everyone loved it. If you are making a curry from scratch for the first time this is the one to start with.

    Absolutely beautiful recipe, will definitely become a regular dish, the lamb was very tender. Used a can of chopped tomatoes and frozen spinach and it worked very well.

    Outstanding, better than an Indian restaurant! Did the same with chicken and was still stunning!

    Not overly impressed but that may be something to do with it being lamb. I did put the chillis in unseeded so it was a little on the hot side but I had some yoghurt on the side. Will try again but with chicken thighs as the sauce was OK

    Very nice, I've cooked this a few times. I think it's better with a lot more tomatoes - espescially if they are ripe and sweet. I also put a dessert spoon of mango chutney in at the end of cooking. I find this offsets the bitter, earthy taste you get from the spices.

    I used leftover lamb from the Sunday Roast. Really quick healthy recipe to make after work on a monday . I added some mushrooms and used tin tomatoes. My husband thinks it the best curry he has ever tasted which is praise indeed .

    Best curry I've had in a long time - stonking flavours and easy to make. I used some lean diced lamb from the supermarket and just gave it a longer cook until it was tender. Quite hot, but everyone loved it. Will certainly be making again.

    Very good, but the spinach needs five minutes max! Will definitely cook this again.

    About to cook this, does the lamb fillet need chopping up first? Thanks!

    My hobs are too hot so i cooked this in the oven at 150c and it was very tasty. I think i added too much water (I hate recipes that say "cups" - i think mine are particularly big!) but otherwise very nice.

    Packed with flavour - a curried delight - worked just as well with chicken, for the healthy and cheaper option

    At first I thought this would be too spicy - with 2 chillis and chilli powder. But it was perfect. Tasty, tender lamb...mmmm... yum.
