Make lamb and potato curry your way
- Our curry is quite a dry curry, like keema, if you like your curry saucier – add in a tin of tomatoes.
- Go hotter and switch up the mild curry powder for hot.
- Add in more veggies – try aubergine and spinach.
- Go lower fat and switch the lamb mince for turkey.
How to server lamb and potato curry
