Nice curry, though potatoes don't really form part of a whole - although still taste nice - though i did use unpeeled krieltjes, and peeled potatoes might have worked better.  I think chickpeas could also be an alternative. The curry method used here works really well though.

<br clear=all>
==Ingredients==
:100ml oil
:1 large onion, chopped finely
:5 cloves garlic, minced
:3cm piece ginger, peeled and minced
:2 small tomatoes, chopped roughly
:±500g lamb shoulder - with bone for authenticity, but can be without
:300g waxy (vastkokend) potatoes, peeled and chopped. Or maybe substitute chickpeas soaked overnight, in which case add them with the lamb, or tinned when you add them like the potatoes.
:1 tsp salt
:2 tsp ground coriander
:2 tsp ground cumin
:1 tsp red chilli powder or similar
:½ tsp turmeric
:fresh coriander for garnish

==Method==
#Peel and chop the potatoes and soak in a bowl of water while you prep the rest.  This helps remove some of the starch which helps stop the curry becoming gloopy the next day. 
#Heat the oil in a pan. Add the onions and fry for 10 minutes and then add garlic and ginger and fry for a bit longer till onions start to brown
#Add the chopped tomatoes, 200ml of water and all the spices.  Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring vigorously a couple of times during. Uncover and reduce moisture.
#Once most of the water has evaporated, turn up the heat and mash and stir vigorously till the mixture seems to form a dry clump and oil begins to separate from its sides.
#Add the lamb. Allow the lamb to brown - without burning - for about 5 minutes
#Once the lamb is browned and no longer shows any pink, add 500ml of boiling water. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a minimum, cover and cook for about an hour ensuring it doesn't dry out.
#After and hour, or when the lamb is tender, add the potatoes and cook for another 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
#Garnish with the chopped coriander
