Fragrant Lamb Curry

by Andrew Mussett, regional support chef, Care UK

“As people get older their sense of smell and taste diminish. But curry, with its stronger aroma and distinctive taste, is more easily recognised by residents whose taste buds might not be as receptive as they once were. The recipe can be easily adapted for different palates – it can be enriched with a shot of cream for those residents whose diet requires a calorie boost or additional dried fruits and vegetables can be added to increase the vitamin and mineral intake. Curry also lends itself to soft food diets, meaning that residents with dysphagia can enjoy it too.”
