Lamb Fry

935

A quick lamb fry is the perfect solution for a midweek meal.

A good curry takes ages, but a fry up takes no time at all. This lamb fry up has all the amazing flavors of a curry but in a fraction of the time. I just love how savory and tasty this. Not to mention the speed. A main course done in just over 30 minutes, is amazing.

I first had a dry lamb curry on a trip to Kerala. They have amazing food there but the fry ups were incredibly impressive. I knew I needed to make a version as soon as I got home. It’s taken some tweaking to get to this point, but now it’s one of my go to recipes. That said, when I have the time, nothing beats a full blown curry.

The nice thing about this recipe is that you can easy switch lamb for goat or chicken. Bone-in or boneless. If you are going to use chicken I’d suggest skinless. Chicken with skin just gets yuck in these sorts of fry-ups or in curry.

I love serving this dish with fresh roti or paranthas and raita. If I’m not in the mood to go through the process of making a bread then I just stop by the local takeaway and pick up some garlic naan. Naan, as we all know, is amazing and so much more fancy than just roti.
