   Wow, this is amazing.  It's very easy and fairly cheap. Unlike a lot of curries, this one cooks in around 20mins, (marinading time on top of that). I will be doing this again very soon! The flavours are warm and moreish, cumin, coriander seeds, ginger & toasted oniony rice, chilli & of course lamb! The Coriander sauce is so fresh and healthy it makes you feel like you must have just been to the gym. Well, sort of... (having not been to a gym for at least 10years I'm not an expert...) There are quite a lot of ingredients, but mostly dried spices which last for months and months. The only fresh ingredients I needed to get were fresh coriander (cilantro), mint, & green chillies. You could do this without the fresh coriander sauce but you'd be missing out big time. Make the sauce...make the sauce... I used some suckling lamb chops from a local market. £5 for 2 big chops, not bad I thought... for something quite special and amazingly...

I got these great chilis from a brand new deli, "The De Beavoir Deli" opposite the Northgate pub.  Their website isn't built yet, but will be soon be found HERE .  It has only been running for a month (it's Nov 2009), but already has some nice stock.  It's got a lot of potential & worth a trip. The Chipotle are quite spicy.  The Guindillas are less hot, but really smokey.  They can both be ground up and added to pretty much anything.  Yum! They can also be ordered from the SOUTH DEVON CHILLI FARM along with another 98 varieties.  That would make a cool present for a chilli-head like me!
