This dish really does need the mature flavour of mutton, though lamb can be substituted at a pinch.

Ingredients:

900g mutton, cubed
juice of 2 limes
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 spring onion, chopped
1 hot chilli pepper (eg Scotch Bonnet or Habanero), finely chopped
3 tbsp curry powder
salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp butter
4 tbsp oil

Method:

Place the meat in a bowl, add the lime juice and rub into the meat then set aside for 20 minutes to marinate. Now add the remaining ingredients, season to taste and toss to combine. Cover and set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Take out the meat then combine the oil and butter in a pan. When hot add the meat and cook until browned. Now stir-in the marinade ingredients and fry for 2 minutes before adding 600ml water. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer then cover and cook for about 40 minutes or until tender and thickened.

Traditionally this is either served on a bed of rice or accompanied with roti (Indian-style flat breads).
