Stir Fried Lamb – Keralan Crispy Lamb Recipe

So good! You’ve got to try delicious lamb stir fry.

This Keralan stir fried crispy lamb is seriously one of my favourite Indian quick stir fries.

It’s such an easy dish to prepare. It may be simple but it is so good.

Although you could use raw lamb and cook it longer, this is one you should start with pre-cooked lamb.

Any pre-cooked lamb will do. You could use left over leg of lamb from Sunday dinner for example.

This Keralan lamb stir fry recipe is just one of over 100 new easy, curry house style recipes that are featured in my cookbook, “The Curry Guy Easy”.

Where is this lamb stir fry recipe from?

I actually learned how to make this Keralan crispy fried lamb while I was in London for the photoshoot for The Curry Guy Easy.

I had planned to feature a completely different curry but ended up visiting a Keralan restaurant by chance and loved this dish. 

Luckily for me, the chef was very happy to share his recipe.

Make this recipe your own…

Just like all good Indian food, it is important to taste as you go and not just blindly follow the recipe.

This recipe is perfect for my tastes but you could adjust it to your taste too. If you like more soy sauce, add it. More chillies? Why not?

Taste as you go and this will be the most amazing lamb dish you’ve ever tried.
