Posted on Monday October 27th, 2008 at 07:01 in main course, Chicken, Chinese

Lamb Korma and Masoor Dahl

Posted on Sunday March 2nd, 2008 at 12:49 in recipe, indian, vegetarian, lamb, curry

The last time I made a Korma, it went down very well with my sister, so I decided to try again, only using Lamb this time. I modified the recipe a little after reading a few others on the internet, but it's basically the same technique. I also had ...
