Method
- Place the onion, ginger and garlic in a food processor and pulse until you have a paste.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the cinnamon, cloves and all the dried spices to the pan. Fry for a few mins, stirring frequently. Add the onion, garlic and ginger paste to the pan, stirring frequently, for 3-4 mins until it starts to turn golden in colour.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and diced lamb to the pan. Cook for 5 mins until the lamb is browned on all sides.
- Add enough water to just cover the meat, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 1 hour, until the lamb is tender and falls apart easily. Remove from the heat and stir through the spinach until wilted.
Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Cook as instructed and allow to cool completely. Then transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before reheating. To reheat and serve, place on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the dish is heated through.
