I used raw, cut up lamb shank. I didn’t put garam masala, because I didn’t want it too spicy, but this turned out to be pretty good.

The only downside of lamb in the crockpot, is that it’s a pretty fatty meat, which leaves quite a bit of fat/oiliness in the curry sauce. Maybe I didn’t use the right cut? If that is the case maybe the cut could be specified on the recipe? Or perhaps the key to this was that you used pre-cooked lamb (where most of the fat drippings were cooked out)?

I added a bit more salt and garlic towards the end of cooking time (personal preference).

Thanks – will try again!

Turned out great! Very mild, hubby loved it, I like a little more zip but the flavors were wonderful. I used raw lamb and just put it in the crock pot in the morning and served over rice in the evening….very yummy!

Oh and cubed works great as well. Deb, let me know what think!

Hey guys! You could use either. I used leftover lamb which is why I added that to the recipe. I posted up a note on the blog though that you could use raw lamb as well. Hope that helps!

Okay, I was wrong, just went to her website and she did use precooked lamb.

I’m thinking maybe she meant “cubed” or “chopped”? I’m going to make this tomorrow and put in uncooked lamb, sounds delish!

I’m wondering the same thing. Could you put uncooked lamb in the crockpot and let it cook for the four hours?

I’m confused by the first ingredient…cooked lamb? Do you pre-cook it before putting it into the crockpot? Thanks.
