Bring contents to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is cooked and very tender. Fold in the spinach and garam marsala. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.
LAMB SAAG
Found this in a curry and chili cookbook. We actually didn't have any yoghurt the first time we made it. It was still great, just a little spicy. Edited the ingredients to change the amount of spinach - hopefully this amount will be more suitable :-)

Tips:
- To make the most tender lamb, choose a cut from the shoulder, leg, or loin. These cuts have more connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and results in a fall-off-the-bone texture.
- Don't be afraid to use a variety of spices in your saag. Common spices include cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. These spices add depth of flavor and complexity to the dish.
- If you don't have any fresh spinach on hand, you can use frozen spinach instead. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using it in the recipe.
- Serve lamb saag with a side of rice, naan, or roti. These breads will help you to soak up all of the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Lamb saag is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its tender lamb, creamy spinach sauce, and aromatic spices, lamb saag is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
