Method
-
step 1
Put the lamb in a bowl with half of all the spices, half the garlic and ginger, the coriander and the eggs. Season. Use your hands to mix everything together, then form into walnut-size meatballs. Fry in batches in the oil until browned then scoop out.
-
step 2
Wipe out the pan then cook the onion, the rest of the spices, garlic and ginger in a little more oil. Fry for 5 minutes then add the stock and the meatballs. Simmer with a lid on for 15 minutes then stir in the yogurt and simmer very gently for another 5 minutes. If the yogurt splits don’t worry, it won’t affect the flavour.
-
step 3
While the meatballs are simmering, cook the onion for the rice in the butter until soft. Add the rice and cook in the butter for a few minutes. Tip in the stock. Bring up to a low simmer then put on a lid and cook for 12 minutes, or until the stock has been absorbed and the rice is tender. (If the stock has been absorbed but the rice is still a little hard, add a splash of water and keep the lid on for another 5 minutes.) Stir in the almonds and dill.

step 4
Toss the salad ingredients with a pinch of salt. Serve the curry with the salad, rice and naan.
