- Preheat the heating base to Low. Place the stoneware on the hob, add the oil and warm gently.
- Add the dried spices and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, to release their flavour but do not allow to burn.
- Add the garlic, onions, and ginger and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, coating well in the spices and oil.
- Next add the lamb, water and stock cube, season well with salt and pepper, then place into the heating base. Cover with the lid and cook for 5-6 hours on Low, or 3-4 hours on High or until the meat is tender.
- Once cooked, stir well. Add the cream, tomatoes and coriander.
