• 1kg lamb knuckles (available in the online store)

Directions

1. Fry onions in oil until golden, together with the garlic and the crushed chillies (top layer). Reduce the quantity of chilli or omit if you prefer a milder dish.
2. Add the meat and the spices in the second layer and stir-fry on high heat until the meat is browned.
3. Add 1/2 cup of hot water together with the peaches, sugar and salt. Replace lid and cook on low heat until the meat is nearly tender.
4. Dissolve contents of third layer in a little water and mix in well with the meat (add more liquid if necessary).

6. Serve with yellow rice (we used Basmati rice) and fruit chutney.
