This is a hot curry so if you prefer a milder version, reduce the amount of pepper and chilli. You can also serve it with an extra dollop of yogurt if you like. If you have any leftovers you can pop into an airtight container and either store in the fridge for up to 2 days or you can freeze. Make sure when it comes to serving again that your food is piping hot and cooked all the way through.

Top Tip for making Pressure cooker hot-peppered lamb curry
If you have an electric pressure cooker you won’t need to reduce the heat to stabilize pressure, your cooker will automatically stabilise itself. Always check with the manufacturer’s instructions before using.
