Sear the diced lamb in vegetable oil for 8 minutes.
Add the onions and soften for 7 minutes.
Add the garlic, fresh ginger, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon stick, and curry leaves.
Chop the tomatoes, add them to the pot, and cook for 10 minutes until saucy.
Add the water and salt and cook the lamb over low heat for 45 minutes.
Dice the potatoes, add them to the curry, and cook for 20 more minutes.
Halve the white loaves and hollow them out without piercing the base.
Fill the bread with lamb curry and serve with fresh coriander.
💡 Tip: Keeping the curry saucy moistens the bread walls and helps the bunny chow hold together in the hand.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Leave the hollowed bread cap on the side and serve hot with fresh coriander and carrot sambal.
