Method

  1. Put the onions in a food processor and whizz until very finely chopped. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan, then fry the onion with the lid on, stirring every now and then, until it is really golden and soft. Add the garlic and ginger, then fry for 5 mins more.
  2. Tip the curry paste, all the spices and the bay leaves into the pan, with the tomato purée. Stir well over the heat for about 30 secs, then add the meat and 300ml water. Stir to mix, turn down the heat, then add the yogurt.
  3. Cover the pan, then gently simmer for 40-60 mins until the meat is tender and the sauce nice and thick. Serve scattered with coriander, with plain basmati or pilau rice.

Delicious. Cooked this alongside the chicken tikka masala also on this site for a dinner party and this was the clear winner. The meat was fabulously tender and the sauce was nice and dry. I think we cooked it for a little longer than it suggests to make sure the lamb was almost to the point of falling apart. Will be making it again.

Delicious! Best curry I've ever cooked. I added fresh chillies with the onion as I like a bit of spice.

Great dish with lovely flavurs.
I used rogan josh paste instead of madras and the water amount is correct , as slow simmer thickens the curry sauce just like in a restaurant. make sue you use 3 tablespoons of the curry paste and must squash the cardomon pods before you put in pot for all the flavours to come to gether than you be onto a winner:)

Fantastic, both my husband and I loved this. Cooked in the oven on a low heat for 2 hours as I had a gym class, was perfect when I came home.

Great flavours but a little greasy. Served it with John Torode's spicey pilau rice which worked well.

My husband and I love curries and have made many, After reading many of the comments about this dish I was a little dubious as to how the end result would be.........what was I worried about!!!! Are these people reading the recipe correctly?? I followed it exactly and the result was amazing. The best curry we have ever had! I used pataks curry paste- 2 tablespoons of, and it was the perfect heat, not too mild and not overpoweringly hot but just enough bite to let all the other flavours come through. we will be hard pushed to beat this recipe!

I made this for Christmas Eve Curry night and everyone loved it.
I used Creme Fresh instead of Greek Yogurt, and it worked fine.

This was lovely. I used less lamb (there were 2 of us) but kept the sauce ingredients the same, having read other reviews which said not enough sauce. We did however use a little less water as we cooked for a few hours in a slow cooker. Result was delicious!

This was really easy to make and tasted delicious. Even the children liked it. I also added runner beans and red peppers. Will definitely make again :)

A gorgeous, easy curry.I've used this recipe a few times now and each and every attempt has been a success - both family and friends love it.

I used Pataks mild curry paste instead of madras curry paste as I don't like currys to be too hot. The mild curry paste still packs a decent kick!

Make it Vegetarian by using quorn chicken pieces instead of lamb and add some green/yellow peppers and tomatoes also.

Makes enough for 2-3 servings.

Yummy yummy but agree that the depth of flavour isnt there. Very easy though so will do again.

Excellent recipe! The taste is very authentic. My partner and I really enjoyed this and it was very easy to make.

Just as an aside, isn't a 'one-pot' recipe one that is a complete meal in one pot? I don't really see how this fits the bill!!

Looked good, tasted good. Heat just right for us. Just a little too much sauce for us, so would either add some veg or lentils as Babs suggested or use less water.

Another lovely curry recipe, definately one for the folder. I'm going to try it with chicken next time (at my husbands request) and might substitute the madras paste for pataks rogan josh paste.
