Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb lamb, cut into cubes
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 red chili pepper, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp fenugreek leaves

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

    Make sure not to burn the onions for a sweet flavor.
  2. Add Aromatics

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Keep stirring to avoid burning the garlic.
  3. Cook the Lamb

    Add the lamb cubes to the pot, browning them on all sides.

    Brown the meat in batches if necessary to avoid steaming.
  4. Spices and Liquids

    Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir well, then add coconut milk and chicken broth.

    Ensure the spices coat the meat well for maximum flavor.
  5. Simmer

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour until the lamb is tender.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Add Spinach

    In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the chopped spinach and lime juice, stirring until wilted.

    Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
  7. Serve

    Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced chili pepper. Serve hot with basmati rice.

    Pair with naan for an authentic experience.
