Two Ways to Eat Lamb Without Cooking It Yourself
The lamb collection currently centres on Lamb Korma, available with either Basmati Rice (standard) or Cauliflower Rice (low-carb). The korma sauce is mild instead of fiery, with onion, ginger, garlic and warm spices forming the base, and the lamb is slow-cooked until tender so it pulls apart with a fork. Portions sit at 400 to 450g per tray, with around 30g of protein per serve. The Basmati Rice version is the warmer, more substantial meal; the Cauliflower Rice version drops carbs by around 60% while keeping the sauce and lamb portions the same.
Why People Order Lamb

- Sized as a full evening meal, not a snack
- A change of pace from the more common chicken and beef rotations
Choosing Your Lamb Meal
Pick the base by what you want from the meal. Basmati Rice rounds out the dish into a traditional curry plate, useful when you want something filling after a long day or after training. Cauliflower Rice keeps the same flavour profile but takes the meal under 25g of net carbs, which suits a lighter dinner or anyone managing carb intake. The korma is mild enough for most eaters, but if you want more heat, a side of chilli oil or fresh chilli lifts it without changing the dish itself. The lamb pairs well with a side of yoghurt or a cucumber salad if you have one in the fridge. Both lamb dishes are gluten-free and dairy-free, so they fit naturally alongside our low carb meals, the gluten-free range and the dairy-free options across the rest of the menu.
Sourcing, Reheating and Pairing Sides
NZ lamb from South Island suppliers is slow-cooked in the korma sauce for several hours, which is what produces the pull-apart texture and gives the spices time to penetrate the meat. Reheat the basmati rice version straight from chilled for 4 to 5 minutes in a microwave, stirring once. The cauliflower rice version benefits from a 30-second pause halfway through reheating to avoid the rice drying out. If you're bulking the meal up, a side of natural yoghurt cools the spice and adds protein, while a sliced cucumber and red onion salad lifts the meal with acid and crunch. Naan and pappadums work for the basmati version if you're not concerned about extra carbs; the cauliflower rice version sits well alongside a green salad.
