Hi Everyone,
This may not be as good as Rick Steins, but below is how I make it.
500g Lamb, cubed
500g Spinach
2 Onions, thinly sliced
2tsp Garlic paste ( 4 cloves crushed )
11/2 tsp Chilli powder
11/2 tsp Salt
11/2 tsp Coriander powder
1 tsp Cumin powder
¼ tsp Turmeric
2 Large tomatoes, chopped
11/2 tsp Ginger paste ( 11/2 inch piece minced )
3 Green chillies chopped
250ml Water
4tbls Vegetable oil.
1. Place onions, garlic, salt, chili powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric, meat and water in a heavy based saucepan, cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until meat is half cooked.
2. Add tomatoes and ginger to the meat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring all the time to mash tomatoes.
3. Add oil and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, keep stirring all the time. You may have to add one or two tablespoons of water to prevent gravy from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
4. Put the spinach in a food processor or blender and blend for 2-3 minutes or until smooth.
5. When the gravy begins to release oil, add spinach and green chilies. Stirring constantly cook for 3-5 minutes, then cover the pan, reduce heat and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. At this stage spinach should be mushy and creamy. Cook the curry for few more minutes if it appears thin or add water if the spinach is dry. Adjust the seasoning with salt.
Hope you like it
