Hi, Ray here again.
Time for another weekend curry. I checked out the Curry Focus recipes and chose to make the Lamb Curry Cooked with Rice from the delicious lamb recipes.
This looked like a biryani recipe except that the meat is usually marinated for a biryani.
As usual, the kitchen was well stock with the spices and basic curry ingredients so the only thing that I had to buy was the lamb.
I prepared the lamb and other ingredients late on Sunday afternoon and started the cooking about 30 minutes before I expected the dinner guests to arrive.
This is an east recipe to follow and it’s hard to imagine how anyone could get the confused with the cooking instructions.
There was a lot of rice (and water) in the recipe and so I used a large saucepan for cooking everything.
The dinner guests arrived in plenty of time of have a quick beer before dinner.
I made a raita and served it up with the Lamb Curry Cooked with Rice.
And what was the verdict? Pretty disappointing. The curry looked pretty unappetising and was a pale yellow color. “It looks like a big mess of rice with meat in it.” Nobody like the curry very much and it received a poor taste score of 5.5 out of 10 with a heat/spice rating of “Mild”.
The recipe showed promise when I first looked at it but the result didn’t live up to expectations.
If you use this recipe, let me know what you think.
