    Lamb chilli curry recipe is an easy Indian curry that will have your taste buds simply tingling in delight as they experience first, the tender marinated lamb then second, the rich chilli sauce.

    Close up of a plate of lamb chilli curry served on a bed of rice.

    Warning. This lamb chilli curry recipe is quite hot!

    But it is also an absolutely delicious lamb curry.

    You can reduce the quantities of the chilli ingredients if required, and it will still be really tasty!

    First let me mention my father in law again. Whom I previously mentioned in my Chicken Vindaloo recipe.

    He just loves his curries.

    So this recipe was put together with him in mind, when he requested something hot and spicy with lamb and Chilli in!

    A plate of lamb chilli curry served on a bed of rice. A chopping board with a knife and chopped coriander in the background.

    Notes

    You could substitute the Lamb for Beef. I've tried both and both work equally well.

      I'm going to cook this today Neil. Quick question - I don't have tamarind pulp. Can I leave that out or is there something I can substitute it with? Thanks in advance!

        Hi John, thanks for your comment. Glad you are making this recipe today, it's delicious! You can substitute the tamarind pulp with lime juice / lemon juice mixed with an equal quantity of light brown sugar. It's really just a thick like sugar substance. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
