Method

  1. In a large, heavy-based saucepan, heat a little oil. Then fry the lamb in batches until browned on all sides. Remove to a plate.
  2. Add the onions and tomatoes to the saucepan. Cook down slightly, then add the star anise ginger, garlic, turmeric, curry powder and ground coriander and fry on medium until fragrant.
  3. Transfer everything to a slow cooker, including all remaining ingredients. Mix well and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the lamb is tender.
  4. Serve with the rice and some chopped coriander scattered over the curry sauce.
