Method

  1. Cut lamb into strips then sauté in a non-stick frypan that has been generously coated with cooking spray until lamb is nearly cooked. Remove from pan and leave to one side.
  2. Toast almonds on a sheet of foil placed under the griller until browned, leave to one side.
  3. Coat frypan again then fry ginger, garlic, onion, apple and sultanas and cook 2 minutes.
  4. Add cardamom, cumin, coriander, turmeric and stock powder into pan and coat ingredients with spices. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add tomato paste and combine.
  6. Mix cornflour with milks and essence, add to frypan, stir continuously. Once boiled take off heat as evaporated milk can separate when over boiled.
  7. Add lamb back to pan, once boiled serve. Sprinkle almonds over each serve. 

NOTE: Serve with Basmati rice or noodles (for a lower carb count use glass noodles). Not included in nutritional information.

Dietitian's tip

Almonds are high in fibre, protein and mostly monounsaturated fat. A heart friendly food.
