Lamb Curry is one of our favorite dishes, made quickly in the pressure cooker. You can always convert the recipe to stove top or slow-cooker if you are not into pressure cooking.

The meat turns out super tender, really fall-off-the-bone tender ! And it is packed with vegetables as well.

We are freezing ! Every bone in my body feels frozen. At least it’s our last month of Winter, but I have a feeling this is going to be one heck of a long month.

The past week the temperatures were up a bit, but all of a sudden it’s taken a dive again. All I want to do, is crawl into bed with my electric blanket and read or sleep.

It’s too cold to THINK what to make for dinner, never mind actually go to the kitchen and cook!

I think Spring is my favorite season .. how about you? Summer – too hot/ Winter – too cold/ Autumn – everything goes brown and dead … no, Spring it is.

Which brings me to my recipe today – Comfort Food !! I think we had this dish at least once a week during this Winter.

I make this in my pressure cooker but it can easily be done in an ordinary pot, it’ll just take a bit longer.

I made it on the stove top instead of in a pressure cooker. I boiled it for approximately 90 minutes. It came out perfect and tasted delicious!

If I don’t have a pressure cooker, what modification would I have to do for this recipe? It sounds yummy!

Leila you can always cook the Lamb Curry in a slow-cooker as well. However, use a small saucepan and finish step 1 (add the meat, but only brown) - thereafter transfer to your slow-cooker and all the remaining ingredients (except the beans) - cook on High for about 4 hours or Low for 7-8 hours. Stir in the beans
