QUICK SWEET LAMB CURRY (MICROWAVE OR OVEN)

Quick Sweet Lamb Curry (Microwave or Oven) image

This western-style curry was passed on to my mother by her friend many years ago, and has now been passed on to me... one of my favourites! This is a great meal to make when time is of the essence but you still want something to eat! Serve with basmati rice and poppadoms or paratha. Also good as one of a variety of dishes at a dinner party. Note: I recommend that you use good quality lamb if cooking this in the microwave, otherwise the meat will be tough. Quantities of ingredients are flexible, I hardly ever stick to the amounts given! I also like to add peas to make the curry all the more interesting.
