Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 500g lamb mince
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ⅓ cup medium curry paste (korma, rogan josh or madras)
- ½ cup stock or water
- 5 eggs
- 2 x 250g sachet microwave basmati rice
- 2 Tbsp toasted flaked almonds (optional)
- 30g salted butter, melted
- Mint leaves, to garnish
- Yoghurt raita and fried paratha bread, to serve
Method
- Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are golden brown. Remove half the onions and set aside.
- Add mince and garlic. Cook breaking up the lumps until browned and crumbly. Add curry paste and mix well. Stir in water and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has reduced a little.
- In the meantime, place the eggs in a small saucepan. Just cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Cook for 5 mins. Drain the eggs, rinse in cold water and peel. Make three shallow cuts into one side of each egg. Set aside.
- Cook microwave rice according to packet instructions. Spoon over the top of the lamb curry. Snuggle eggs into the rice.
- Scatter over almonds and reserved onions. Pour over melted butter and cover with a lid. Heat over low heat until warmed through.
- Garnish with mint. Serve immediately from the pan with yoghurt raita and paratha.
Notes
- Substitute lamb with beef mince or replace mix with vegetables such as zucchini, broccoli and sweet potato.
- Slow Cooker Method
- Combine half the onions, mince, garlic, curry paste and water in a slow cooker and mix well.
- Select LOW 3hrs/ HIGH 1 ½ hours. Break up the mince every 30 minutes.
- Add the rice, eggs, almonds, and butter in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Serve topped with coriander.
