LAMB CHOP CURRY

The benefit of using whole lamb chops – apart from the succulent taste, of course – is that the bones enhance the flavour of the gravy. And this version of lamb chop curry is bursting with aromatic spices that perfectly complement the meat. Enjoy it with your favourite pilau, roti’s or warm nan bread.
