Notes

If you don't have it, substitute 1 Tbs ghee with 1 Tbs cooking oil.

Check the curry while simmering and add a little more stock if necessary. For a richer curry, substitute half the liquid with coconut milk.

To adapt this recipe for the crock-pot or slow cooker, brown the meat, add only half the curry - the slow cooker concentrates flavors even more, it is better to be shy - place meat and only half the liquid it in the crock-pot and cook on a low setting for about 6 hours - check the recommendations for your particular slow cooker.

To make this recipe free of gluten, substitute flour with cornstarch.
