My sister and her boyfriend are coming over on Saturday night, I wanted to make a lamb curry but i am after something pretty hot.

I know the types of curries that are hot but some brands of the cook in sauce lack a bit of warmth and can be quite mild.

So what are the best brands to go for? I am looking for a Hot madras to vindaloo hotness.

I would make one from scatch but we are busy sorting the house out so want a sauce where i can add bits too.

Any help would be really appreciated.

what you could do is partially cook the lamb in a nice spicey marinade before you add it to the curry. that'd mean the lamb would be hot. dunno about cook in sauces though

Pataks.. Get their Madrass or Vindaloo sauce. Get a caserole dish with a lid. Partially cook the lamb, add the sauce and stick in the oven for about a hour.

Best bet is a half leg of lamb, pre-cooked and kept moist whilst cooking before cooking again in a sauce - keeps the lamb tender (y)

When I'm making it that way I use a marinade of 'birds eye' chilli, garlic, ginger, tomato puree and a wee drop of lemon juice. Failing that, cover in Pataks Madras curry paste (does the same job and easier). Cook in a slow (say, 130-160 degree oven) for at least an hour covered 'loosly' in foil.

Once that's cooked (assuming you use pataks) make the sauce as directed BUT add 3 cloves of garlic some ginger and a load of coriander leaf (all blended together with a wee drop of water) to the lot when you start cooking. Awesome (y) Needs about 1.5 hours, again at about 130-160 in a fan assisted oven.

Quality curry :D

BTW - why are you looking for Hamish?!!
