Ingredients

1 tsp vegetable oil
½ onion
1 clove garlic
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp plain flour
150 g leftover roast lamb - diced into 1 cm cubes
240 ml lamb or chicken stock
1 tbsp tomato puree
salt and pepper

Instructions

Chop the onion, and fry for a couple of minutes, until just starting to turn translucent. Peel and crush the garlic, and add it to the onion. Cook for about another two minutes. Add the curry powder, turmeric, flour and lamb, and then stir well to make sure that the meat is coated.
Cook for at least two minutes more, until the spices are really fragrant, to make sure that the sauce won’t taste of flour.
Add a little of the stock, and stir in to make a smooth paste. Then slowly add the rest of the stock. This two-stage process is important, because it helps to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Stir in the tomato puree. Cover, turn the heat right down and simmer for 15 minutes. Serve with rice.

Notes

To avoid getting lumps in your sauce, add a small amount of the stock first to make a paste. Then add the rest of the liquid.
Add some chopped fresh tomatoes with the stock. Tinned ones work too.
How about adding some cream or coconut cream, to create a rich and creamy sauce?
You could add some roasted butternut squash.
Make your leftover lamb go further by adding some tinned chick peas or other beans.
Slice some green and red peppers. Fry them and add just before the end of cooking.
