Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 (200 g) carton natural yoghurt
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 kg lean lamb fillets, diced
  • 40 ml vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 1/2 cm fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 kg potato, cut into 2.5 cm dice (I would use a red potato)
  • 1 (410 g) can peeled crushed tomatoes
  • 40 ml tomato paste
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 bunch english spinach, trimmed and washed

Method

  • Combine the coriander, cumin, turmeric, yoghurt and lemon juice in a large bowl and add the lamb.
  • Mix well and cover.
  • Place in the fridge and marinate for at least 3 hours-overnight would be better.
  • heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and fry the onion, garlic and ginger for 5 minutes or until soft.
  • Add the lamb (and the marinade) and the potatoes, crushed tomatoes and paste.
  • Season with salt and pepper, stir and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer gently uncovered for 1-1 1/4 hours or until the lamb is very tender.
  • Check and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
  • Add the spinach and simmer for a further 3 or 4 minutes.
