Serves: 6

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat and add the lamb. Brown all over. Do this in batches so as not to crowd the pan. Remove the lamb and reserve.

2. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, ground cloves and bay leaf. Fry gently for 10 minutes or until the onion is soft.

3. Add the reserved lamb, tomatoes and 2 cups of water. Bring to the boil and boil gently for 40 minutes or until the lamb is very tender.

4. Add the chillies and simmer for 10 minutes then add the spinach and mix well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Taste and season with salt. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving with steamed rice or flatbread.
