So this is a warming bowl of comfort… and even though it’s January and the entire world is on a detox AGAIN… I feel like one needs comfort, warmth and pampering in the way of good nutritious food…Curry is the way to go for me…

There’s something about the colours and aromas of spices… they immediately send streams of happiness and wonderful memories down my body, it’s incredible… I think the colours play a big part in this… they just make you feel so much better!

This dish is a childhood favourite of mine… my mum makes the BEST kheema… ( apparently everyone’s mum does!)… but my mums is the best… And right now I have the pleasure of eating hers because she’s here with us! So WIN WIN!:) If you need a comparison, I would say it’s pretty close to a bolognese… minced meat.. only the base is onions and spices .. there are no other veggies in this apart from the sweet green peas… I love the addition of this as it balances out the spices and the deep rich flavours of the lamb… You could also do this with chicken or beef… or even pork perhaps or a mix of two… For me, the lamb really is the best option though

Serve with fluffy white basmati rice or chapatis or Naan bread… even on it’s own if you’re trying to avoid the carbs right now ( really?)
