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.

Step 2
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.
Step 3
Stir yogurt and jam into the curry a few minutes before serving.

Cook's Notes:

Beef can be substituted for lamb.

Sour cream can be substituted for the yogurt.

My family raved about it, even all came back for seconds. I did use what I had on hand instead of all ingredients as follows -- I topped brown rice with a curry "stew" of this recipe, minus the lamb, eggplant, peppers and tomato paste, added sausage and garbanzo beans instead - oh and sour cream instead of yogurt. Might be good with raisins instead of apricots too.
