Lamb Curry in a Hurry

All culturally-deprived curry virgins take note – Art’s got the recipe for you. This cheap and fast bachelor-style lamb curry is so easy you’ll wonder what the hell took you so long to try it. Art’s “curry in a hurry” uses stock to speed up the tenderizing process, some store-bought rogan josh curry sauce for awesome flavour and basmati rice to class it all up. Ditch the basmati and use instant white rice if you’re really in a rush and don’t care how fancy you look.
