Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil

400 gram diced lamb

1 large brown onion, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

2 teaspoon poppy seeds

1/2 cup korma curry paste

300 millilitre reduced-fat cream

400 gram can chickpeas, rinsed

100 gram green beans, trimmed, halved

3/4 cup cold water

cooked basmati rice, to serve

coriander leaves, to serve

pappadums, to serve

Method

1.Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Cook and stir lamb about 5 minutes, or until browned. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl.

2.Heat remaining oil in pan over moderately high heat. Add onion. Cook and stir 5 minutes, or until soft. Add ginger, seeds and paste. Cook and stir until fragrant. Add water, cream and chickpeas. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to moderate.

You will find korma paste at most major supermarkets. We used diced lamb, but you can use lamb stir-fry strips or diced lamb shoulder. If using shoulder, cook curry longer.
