Lamb Chilli Fry (Chilli Bhuna Gosht)

A Bhuna is a cooking process whereby spices are gently fried, with meat then being added to the process. The result is a dish that is traditionally somewhat drier than a typical saucy curry. This is a spicy and flavoursome lamb dish uses the delectable spices of our Madras paste - turmeric, chillies with coriander and other authentic spices, to give a real zing to this dish. The fresh coconut, coriander and lime juice really adds a fantastic dimension to this delicious Bhuna.
