memory of her dad’s amazing bolte curry
and the best person to bring this back
to life for all of you lovely people is
the one and only check now Thank You
Jamie and Thank You Liz for sending in
this amazing memory by the way if you
want to see more of these stories or win
some brand-new Hotpoint kitchen
appliances click on the link and head to
food memories hub in the meantime let me
tell you about Liz Anna dad Liz’s dad
was called Michael and he loved to cook
the memory of his Lamballe tea has
really stuck with Liz she vividly
remembers him sourcing all the spices
which was much more difficult and
unusual in the 80s than it is now
there’s so many layers of flavors going
into this dish
cumin garam masala cardamom and it’s
made with beautiful lamb shoulder it’s
going to be really good you’ve got to
try this I’m gonna start by toasting the
spices I’m using Hotpoint induction hob
which heats up nice and fast and I’m
gonna get a pan on medium heat add in 2
teaspoons of coriander seeds and 1
teaspoon of cumin seeds dry roast that
for around 1 minute so I’m gonna get
these into the pestle and mortar now I’m
gonna give it a good bash once these
have ground up I’m gonna add 1/2 a
teaspoon of chili powder 1/2 a teaspoon
of turmeric powder 1 TSP garam masala 3
to 4 green cardamom pods and 2 bay
leaves mix this up and leave it aside
for the time being if you’re now gonna
get on with the Balti sauce we’re gonna
get the pan back on the hob on medium
heat start with 2 tablespoons of
vegetable oil in the pan grate in 2
centimetres of fresh ginger and a large
clove of garlic fry that for a minute or
two the first time Liz’s dad made this
he forgot to put the lid on the mixer
and it was everywhere so the kids
chipped in and had to clear it all up
before mum came back so today I’m going
to create 3 onions so we’re gonna skip
the blender
this needs to cook down nice and slowly
for 10 to 15 minutes unclean soft and
golden this is really nice deep golden
color and all these caramelized onions
are going to add this beautiful flavor
to the sauce and it’s ready for the
tomatoes now I would use fresh tomatoes
but Liz’s dad said that life’s too short
for that so he preferred using tinned
tomatoes and that’s what I’m doing today
squash it all with your hands and in the
wonderful spices and give it a good mix
pour over 500 ml of boiling water will
simmer this for 30 minutes and give it
an occasional stir
another spice I’m gonna add to this is
dried my tea leaves now this is not
easily available and this is something
Liz’s dad would have liked because he
liked to go out and look for these
particular spices so it should bring
Liz’s memories flooding back
I’ve also got half a teaspoon of
tamarind paste half a teaspoon of honey
and a pinch of salt the sauce is ready
now so I’m going to move it aside and
get on with the lamb and for this dish
I’ve done my usual trick and marinated
big chunky shoulder meat with yogurt and
lots more spices I mixed 100 ml of
natural yogurt with a tablespoon of
ground coriander and a teaspoon each of
ground cumin ground ginger chili powder
turmeric and salt
I mixed that in with chunks of lamb then
I covered it and left it in the fridge
for two hours now it’s ready I’m gonna
seal the meat in one tablespoon of
vegetable oil and I’m gonna fry these in
batches
keep turning it and make sure it’s brown
all around once your lamb is all nice
and brown you’re gonna stir it through
into this lovely sauce we’re gonna get
the lid on and this is going to go into
my Hotpoint oven at 170 C 325 Fahrenheit
give that an hour and a half this is
going to make the lamb really tender and
all the juices will go in and it’s
really good wow that smells so so good
this should bring Liz’s memories
flooding back I cannot wait to try this
Liz you’re going to absolutely love this
the lamb is so tender this is hopefully
as good as your dad’s lamb bounty to
