Lamb Balti for 7

Rescaled from 4 servings.

A fantastic balti recipe. Rivals those you'd get in a curry house. Scales well. You don't need to worry too much about half-tins of tomatoes. Just chuck the whole thing in. Swap tomatoes for vine ripened if you like. Swap garlic/ginger for pastes if you like. Ghee can be swapped for butter. Just be careful not to burn the milk solids. Swap meat for whatever you like.
