To prepare, you will typically need to heat the lamb curry and the rice. The curry is often microwaved in its container or heated gently in a saucepan on the stovetop until thoroughly warmed through. The rice can usually be microwaved directly from its pouch or tray. Once both components are hot, you can combine them in a bowl or plate for serving. Ensure the lamb is piping hot before consuming.
