Ingredients

Method

1.Blend or process half the macadamias until ground finely. Coarsely chop remaining macadamias; reserve.
2.Heat half the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan. Cook lamb, in batches, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned; transfer each batch to a large heatproof bowl.
3.Heat remaining oil in same pan; cook onion, garlic, chilli and ginger, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion softens. Add spices; cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Return lamb to pan; add ground macadamias, tomatoes, coconut milk and stock. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, covered, for 1¼ hours or until lamb is tender. Remove lid; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Season to taste.
4.Serve half the lamb curry topped with reserved chopped macadamias and coriander leaves (see > serve it). Transfer remaining lamb curry to an airtight container; cool, then store (see store it).

The amount of coarsely chopped macadamias is enough to top the served portion of lamb curry. Use the same amount again (about ¾ cup) when serving the stored portion.

If you like, serve with garlic naan (page 203) or classic pulao.

Refrigerate lamb curry for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge, then reheat in a microwave.
