Malaysian lamb and potato curry recipe. Aromatic herbs and spices will waft through your kitchen as this lamb and potato curry cook until the meat melts in your mouth and the sauce is bursting with flavour.
The creamy potatoes soak up the sauce and pair perfectly with the lamb. This mild curry is infused with the taste of Malaysian cuisine and can be enjoyed on its own or with rice. Serving with roti that’s been warmed in a hot, oiled frying pan for a minute on each side is a great way to round out the meal with that delicious golden bread. You can pile on the lamb and potatoes or use it to mop up the sauce. Either way, the kids will love the excuse to eat with their hands!
