START THE CURRY
Pat the lamb leg dry with some paper towel. Cut into bite-size cubes and season to taste. Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry two-thirds of the diced onion for 1-2 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the grated garlic, grated ginger, and three-quarters of the Durban Curry Paste – to taste! Fry for another minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add in the cubed lamb and brown for 1-2 minutes, shifting as it colours. Add the cooked chopped tomatoes, 150ml of water, and the halved baby potatoes. Stir through and bring to the boil. Then, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 30-35 minutes until the potatoes are cooked and the meat is tender, stirring occasionally.
SPICY CARROT SAMBAL
Place the red wine vinegar and 1 tbsp of water in a bowl. Mix in 1 tsp of a sweetener of choice until dissolved. Add in the remaining diced onion, the grated carrot, three-quarters of the chopped coriander, and the sliced chilli to taste. Toss to coat, season to taste, and set aside for serving.
GET THAT DURBAN KINDA HEAT
When the curry has 10 minutes to go, mix in the remaining curry paste (to your preference) if you’d like to increase the spice level. Add seasoning and a sweetener of choice to taste. Allow to simmer for the remaining time while you toast the roti.
MOUTHWATERING ROTI
Place a pan over a medium heat. When hot, warm the roti for about 1 minute per side until heated through and lightly toasted. Alternatively, spread them out on a plate in a single layer and heat up in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
