Add the crushed garlic and minced ginger to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the curry powder, ground coriander, cumin, and beef bouillon powder (if using). Stir well to combine.

Pour in the beef stock and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the quartered potatoes. Bring back to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender.
💡 Conseils de pro: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. - 7
Uncover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓For a thicker sauce, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot.
- ✓If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of curry powder or use a milder blend.
- ✓This curry can be made ahead of time and reheated, as the flavors often meld and improve overnight.
