Lamb, Potato & Spinach Curry image

This is a good "kids curry"-a nice chilliless introduction for them. You can add a couple of red chillies at the onion stage though if you wish. Prep tim doesn't allow for marinating time.

LAMB SPINACH CURRY

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 lb of lamb cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 tsp ground coriander
1 Tbsp mustard seeds
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder (or less if you want)
1 tsp turmeric
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1-inch finely chopped fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 lb of fresh spinach, trimmed, washed and torn in small pieces
1/4 tp salt
1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

Heat the oil in a casserole and cook the onion over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until soft. Stir lamb, coriander, mustard seeds, cumin, chili powder and turmeric. Mix all the ingredients well. Add 1 Tbsp of yogurt and cook over high heat, stirring the meat until all the yogurt is absorbed - 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with a second Tbsp of yogurt, third, etc ... When the yogurt is used up, stir in the ginger and garlic, add just enough water to cover the meat and bring to boil. Cover the casserole, lower the heat and simmer for one hour. When the meat is cooked, increase the heat to medium and add the spinach in batches, stirring each batch until it is wilted. When all the spinach is incorporated, cook the stew, uncovered, over high heat to evaporate any excess liquid - about five minutes. Add the salt just before serving. Serve with rice and pappadoms.

Tips:

Buy the best quality lamb you can afford. Look for meat that is a deep red color and has a fine-grained texture. Avoid meat that is pale or has a lot of fat.
Marinate the lamb for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
Cook the lamb over medium heat. This will help to prevent the meat from becoming tough.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the curry. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the curry from burning.
Add the spinach at the end of the cooking time. This will help to preserve the spinach's nutrients and color.
Serve the curry with rice or naan bread.

Conclusion:

Lamb spinach curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the spinach adds a pop of color and nutrition. This curry is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
