Notes
Lamb: I used lean lamb leg steaks for this as I wanted to reduce the fat a little. Warning! if you use lean lamb it will not be quite as soft or tender as if you use a regular, slow cooking cubed lamb cut, like shoulder or leg of lamb
Onions, garlic and ginger: I use frozen preprepared of all of these as a time saving shortcut
How to cook in the oven: It will take about 3 hours at 160C/320F. You will need to add extra liquid - an extra can of tomatoes works well
Prepare the night before: The ultimate time-saving hack. Throw everything for the initial cook into the slow cooker, pop the lid on, then store in the fridge overnight. In the morning, put it into the slow cooker and turn it on
Spice level: This will depend totally on which curry paste you choose. Use the spice level that your family prefer
Curry paste: Check the packet for what is considered a serving for 4 people and adjust the amount in the recipe accordingly. And if you don't have curry paste, you can try using curry powder instead. 1tbsp curry paste = 1tsp curry powder
Lamb stock: Cubes is fine for this
Butternut squash: I use pre-prepared frozen for this recipe, but you can use fresh too
To freeze: Wait until it's totally cold and then put into a freezer-proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating
Serving suggestions: Rice, naan, poppadoms, raita, mango chutney
