Lamb Curry from the Woodfired Oven - a Fabulous First Class Railway Mutton Curry

Spices and woodfired cooking are a match made in heaven - there's something about cooking over fire that really brings out the flavours of the toasted spices in your cooking. The smells and flavours of this awesome lamb curry bring back memories of our own travels in India - we're really looking forward to returning for more foodie adventures when we can. This curry is a slow-cooked dish of lamb with a rich sauce incorporating ghee, coconut milk, peanut butter, yoghurt and spices. The title says mutton but we're using lamb and traditionally it would have been goat - they all work, so use whatever you have to hand or is for sale at the butchers. Legend has it that this dish was created on the Inidan railways for a traveller looking for something to eat during the night; he tried some of the chef's own food but finding it too hot, the chef adding the calming coconut milk which toned down the chillies' fieriness and brought out the flavours of the spices. A winner! Check out the video to see how David cooks it in the woodfired oven - he's using our Bushman Santorini oven which holds the heat really well but gives instructions for using a metal woodfired oven with less insulation. And if you don't have a woodfired oven, no problem - start everything off on the hob and then put in your regular oven at around 150C for 2-3 hours. Lamb curry seems to be one of those dishes that hits the nail on the head for so many people - so we hope this one will too!
