Lamb Curry

<p>The <strong>heart and soul</strong> of South African Indian cooking – tender lamb pieces simmered in a deeply aromatic curry. This is the curry that memories are made of.</p><p><em>Slow-cooked until the meat falls apart and the gravy reaches that perfect, glossy consistency – best served with fresh rotis or steaming basmati.</em></p>
