The secret to this curry is long, slow cooking to develop deep flavours and render the lamb pieces melt-in-your-mouth tender.  This type of cooking is ideally suited to cheaper, tougher cuts of meat such as the flaps or neck (just try and cut out any big veins of fat).  I think we are all becoming [...]
