  • 700g boneless lamb shoulder (roughly diced with most fat removed)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp coriander, ground

  • 1 tsp hot chili powder

  • 1 tsp turmeric, ground

  • 1 tsp cinnamon, ground

  • 6 green cardamoms, crushed

  • garlic (2x cloves), finely chopped

  • 2 medium onions, chopped

  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped

  • 125ml boiling water

  • 1 chicken stock cube

  • 1 tbsp cornflour (optional)

  • 6 tbsp double cream

  • 2 tomatoes (roughly), chopped

  • 2 tbsp coriander, chopped

  • salt (to season)

  • ground black pepper (to season)

  • poppadoms (to serve)

  • Basmati rice (to serve)

  1. Preheat the heating base to LOW

  2. Place the stoneware in the hob, add the oil and warm gently

  3. Add the dried spices and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, to release their flavour - do not allow them to burn

  4. Add the garlic, onions and ginger and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, coating well in the spices and oil

  5. Next add the lamb, water and stock cube, season well with salt and pepper and place into the heating base

  6. Cover with the lid and cook for 5-6 hours on LOW or 3-4 hours on HIGH or until the meat is tender

  7. Once cooked, stir well - if the sauce is too thin, mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp water, stir into the korma and cook for a few minutes on High to thicken

  8. Add the cream, tomatoes and coriander

  9. Check the seasoning and serve

    This is my favourite slow cooker recipe. The meat is very tender, the flavours are lovely - hardly spicy at all so suitable for children but has a little kick which pleases those with a more discerned taste! I have recently recommended this in our local daily paper in response to a request for slow cooker recipes. You must try it.
