  • Cook onion in the same pan for 3 minutes and add to lamb. Pour in the Sri Lankan Coconut & Cashew Chicken simmer sauce. Mix well. Cover and cook on High 4 hours or Low 8 hours. In the last hour of cooking, stir through coconut cream and broccoli.
  • To serve, garnish with chopped coriander and toasted cashews if desired. Serve with microwave Saffron Rice.
  • RECIPE HINTS

  • This curry is perfect for batch cooking. Make a double batch in the slow cooker. Cool completely and portion into sealed labelled containers. Freeze for up to 1-2 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in a saucepan or in the microwave
  • Leftover curry is perfect for lunches or snacks. Use it as the next filling for your pie maker pies. Shredd and add to toasties or add to pizzas.
