How to Make Lamb Kofta Curry

  1. In a large bowl, combine 500g ground lamb, 1 large egg, 1 finely chopped medium onion, 2 tablespoons of your favorite curry paste (e.g., Patak's Rogan Josh), 3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander, and 1 minced clove of garlic.
  2. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the koftas tough.
  3. Roll the mixture into small meatballs (approximately 2-3cm in diameter).
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, sauté 1 finely chopped medium onion and 1 minced clove of garlic until softened (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of curry paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to release the aroma.
  7. Pour in 1 cup of water and 1 (400g) can of diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  9. Add the cooked meatballs and any accumulated juices to the sauce. Gently stir to combine.
  10. Continue to simmer until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened (about 10-15 minutes).
  11. Serve hot with steamed rice or mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh coriander.
