- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat the oil in a lidded flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat and add the lamb and a pinch of salt. Fry for 4-5 mins until browned all over, then transfer to a plate.
- Add the onions to the pan and fry for 4-5 mins until soft and tender. Add the garlic and ginger, cook for 1 min, then stir in the spices and cook for another 30-45 secs until fragrant.
- Stir in the aubergine and cook for 1 min. Add the lamb back in along with the tomatoes, tamarind, sugar, 350ml water and 1 tsp salt, then bring to the boil. Cover and transfer to the oven for 45 mins until the lamb is tender.
- Scatter with the coriander and serve with naan or roti and yogurt, if you like. Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
