lamb potato spinach curry method

On a medium low heat in large sauté pan or large shallow casserole, fry onions in butter and olive oil for 5-6 minutes until soft and golden. Add the spices, garlic and ginger and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Add tomatoes, water, cinnamon sticks and lamb, bring to the boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook for half an hour. Add potatoes and 3 chopped green chillies. Cook for another 20 minutes or until the lamb and potatoes are tender.

While the curry cooks, prepare the rice. Wash the rice thoroughly in cold water. Drain and add it to a medium heavy bottomed pan with the water and turmeric. Then follow the manufactures instructions for the absorption cooking method. Keep warm.

To decorate the rice and add extra flavour, in a small frying pan fry the sliced onion on a medium low heat until dark golden brown. Just before serving stir the spinach leaves into the curry until they’ve just wilted. Check the seasoning. Transfer the cooked rice to a serving dish and top with the browned onion and a few coriander leaves. Serve the curry with dollops of Greek style natural yoghurt topped with freshly ground black pepper, a little cumin and a scatter of coriander leaves. Serve the poppadoms and mango chutney as side dishes. Serves 4-6.
