Method

  1. Spray a non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and put over a high heat. Add the lamb and cook for a few minutes or until browned all over. Drain off any fat and set aside.
  2. Spray a non-stick saucepan with low-calorie cooking spray and put over a medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for 3 minutes, then add the tomato purée and onions. Reduce the heat to low, add the stock cubes and 200ml boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Add the lamb, chopped tomatoes and sweet potatoes, cover and simmer over a medium-low heat for 25 minutes or until the lamb is tender.
  3. Meanwhile, put the rice and turmeric in a large saucepan and cook according to the rice pack instructions, then drain and keep warm.
  4. Add the red peppers to the lamb and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the yogurt and coriander. Stir the rice through the curry, season to taste and serve with your favourite vegetables.
