Recipe Summary South African Malay Curry
My mother asked me to make this recipe for her and I was surprised at how good it was. My neighbor smelled it and asked what I was making, and loved it too. Serve with traditional curry garnishes such as chutney, peanuts, sliced bananas, and dates. I served over brown rice.

Reduce heat slightly and add lamb. Cook until browned on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Add beef broth, eggplant, tomato paste, bell pepper, jalapeno peppers, and vinegar. Drain apricots and stir in. Reduce heat and cover; simmer on low, stirring occasionally, until lamb is tender, about 1 hour.
