This slow-cooked lamb curry was the easiest and best damn curry I’ve ever had in my life. Big call I know, but it was.
We had been out for the day, we actually went bush walking so I popped a lamb shoulder in the slow cooker before I left. I knew we’d come home hungry, tired and exhausted. I thought we’d just have some veggies with it but my husband really wanted a curry.
So when we came home I pulled the meat off the bone, chucked in some spices and this is what I came up with. It was soooo good and took all of 5 minutes. Being a lamb shoulder it was cost-effective too!

Yum yum YUM! This was delicious. My partner and my two boys (9 and 11) all loved it! In fact because my partner could smell the lamb cooking in the slow cooker throughout the day he had the impression that I’d been slaving over this meal all day…I did tell him it was ridiculously easy and took far less effort than most dinners I cook! Loved the spice blend for the curry powder, I’ve made a big batch. Thanks ladies!
I’ve made this lamb curry at least a dozen times and it NEVER fails to impress! AMAZING!! Thanks ladies for your fabulous recipes and advice!!
Yummmm! Thank you, this was so easy and surpassed my expectations. Definitely now one of my reguar go-to meals.
I love my S/Cooker – have even let my hubby play with it now 🤗 under instructions of course! He’s a good student . THankyou for the basic instructions , we WILL be making this one! You girls are amazing 🤩 love your page ❤️
The lamb was beautifully cooked & everything tasted great.. except that it was very bland 😭 Has anyone doubled the curry powder?
I did use a very large lamb shoulder. Used the Baba’s curry powder, which is recommended on other cooking sites.
Thanks for any advice!
You can always increase the quantities of the flavour components if you want it bolder. We use the curry powder recipe from our website which is different to the babas curry powder.
Thank you so much for this recipe! Delicious and even my fussy pre-schooler loved it!! I made your curry powder for it which was lovely too, thank you. Next time I will hopefully have made some of your tomato paste so that I don’t have to use store-bought paste, as well as hoping to have cooked my own soaked brown rice. I actually pressure-cooked my lamb shoulder for 90 minutes instead of slow cooking, so that I could cook the whole meal in the few hours I had free. We’re also not huge fans of coriander here, so whilst I left it in the curry powder, I used garam masala instead of extra coriander in the sauce. So very yummy!!
I have made this curry at least 1/2 dozen times. It’s so easy with a rich delicious flavor!
5 ⭐️ from me.
I absolutely love this curry! I have made it many times and it is so simple but has incredible flavor.
