Ive been tinkering with Mamtas lamb and spinach curry. Ive come up with this and if you're after restaurant style saag lamb give this a go.
600gms lean lamb
2 medium onions
1 tin diced tomatoes
Tub of thick cream (about 250mls)
Bunch of fresh coriander
Curry leaves
Beef stock
Big bunch of spinach (about 500gms)
Garlic
Ginger
1 tspn turmeric, salt, cumin, chilli powder
2 tspn coriander powder
1 brown cardamon pod, 1 stick of cinnamon
half a cup of methi leaves
Combine onions, garlic, ginger and curry leaves and fry until golden
Combine spices with lamb and fry until meat is sealed.
In a blender combine, half the spinach, half the tomatoes, half the fried onion mix, half the cream, a good glug of beef stock and 2 tbspns methi leaves. I do this in two batches hence halving everything. You'll end up with what looks like green creamy goo!
Place green swamp goo and lamb into a slower cooker and cook for 8 hours or into a saucepan for a couple of hours.
Delicious! I will take photos next time.
Cheers
Steve
This looks very good--I love methi, spinach and curry leaves. Thanks for sharing!
It is looking good Steve.
I love methi leaves and often add to curries, though I haven't put it in many recipes. It enhances the flavour of even 'non-saag' caurries.
I went to Wing Yip at Steples Corner yesterday, they were selling it in huge, pillow sized (don't remember the weight!) bags, much cheaper than Indian shops.
