Curries can be as complicated or simple as you like without sacrificing flavour. If I have got the time I love making a curry from scratch using loads of different spices but am fully aware that during the week this is not always possible as the process is very time consuming. This lamb curry is absolutely wonderful and I have simplified it using a pataks madras paste pot and a chicken and vegetable broth.
