This is one of those recipes that I am so pleased to have found - totally gorgeous, creamy curry with a great cut of lamb, we love shanks! I made this for a party that we went to last weekend, and increased the quantities to serve 8 people. I have had requests from ALL the ladies present for the recipe - so thanks for making me so popular Jewelies! Sorry for the lateness in making this - this is for the Aussie/NZ recipe swap! Made exactly as posted with increased quantities - I personally would NOT change a thing!
