Description

Spring lamb on the bone, cooked the way the old Indian railways served it in first class, when dinner arrived on a white tablecloth somewhere between two stations. Slow, gently spiced and nostalgic, an elbows-on-the-table sort of curry rather than a fierce one. The bone is where the flavour hides, so do not be shy with it. Serve it with rice and bread, both, because you will want to mop the plate.

Our barn, our recipes

Cooked in a barn above Silent Pool

This gravy starts the way it did in Mandira's family kitchen in Calcutta: whole spices, toasted and ground the same morning, cream stirred in slowly so it never splits.

We cook in small batches in a 400-year-old barn in the Surrey Hills, then blast-freeze every pot the day it's made. Cooked, then frozen. That order is the whole point.

Railway Lamb Curry, Slow Cooked on the Bone

Railway Lamb Curry began in the dining cars of first-class railway travel, when British and Indian tastes met over a slow, warming meal. Ours uses spring lamb on the bone, cooked long and gentle in mustard oil with Kashmiri chilli, black cardamom and mace. This railway lamb curry has a deep, savoury sauce that clings to the bone, the way a proper slow cooked lamb curry should. It serves 2 to 3.

HOW SPICY IS IT?
Medium. Kashmiri chilli brings colour and a mellow warmth rather than sharp heat, balanced by the smoky black cardamom and mace. Most people find the level comfortable. A spoon of yoghurt on the side rounds it off if you prefer things softer.

WHAT'S IN IT (AND THE ALLERGENS)
Spring lamb on the bone, slow cooked in mustard oil with onion, ginger, garlic, Kashmiri chilli, black cardamom, mace and ground spices. It contains mustard. Made with no preservatives. Because this is lamb curry on the bone, do take care with the bones when serving, especially to children. Check the pack for the full ingredient list.

READY IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Reheat this slow cooked lamb curry from frozen. On the hob, add it to a pan with a little water and heat for about 10 minutes, stirring gently so the meat stays on the bone. You can also microwave for 4 to 5 minutes, or use the oven or air fryer for around 30 minutes. Serve piping hot.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH RAILWAY LAMB CURRY
Steamed basmati or a jeera pilau soaks up the mustard-oil sauce well. Warm naan or roti is ideal for the bone-clinging bits. A kachumber salad and a cooling raita round out the meal, and a squeeze of lemon lifts the whole plate.

WHY BUY RAILWAY LAMB CURRY FROM US
We slow cook this railway lamb curry by hand at our Silent Pool kitchen in Surrey, using spring lamb on the bone and Calcutta family recipes with roots in that first-class railway dining tradition. Each batch is blast-frozen fresh with no preservatives. We hold 11 Great Taste Awards and more than 520 five-star reviews, and we deliver restaurant-quality food UK-wide. Order this railway lamb curry today, ready to serve 2 to 3 from your freezer.
