Hi pete might be a silly question but I would love to try your peanut butter curry but my OH hates nuts. Would it be possible to do this without him knowing. Can you taste the peanut butter. Also do you think the fake kebab could be done with lean mince beef as can't seem to find lean lamb. Thanks :)
 
You could use the smooth peanut butter.
Yes if you cant find lean lamb you could use beef instead, I got mine from a local butcher, different taste though.
