Ingredients

• 250 g diced lamb
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 handfuls chopped spinach
• 400 mL (14 fl. Oz.) lentils, soaked and pre-cooked
• ½- 1 tbsp ginger, thinly sliced
• 2 - 5 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp rosemary
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• ½ tsp garam masala
• ½ tsp curry powder

Steps

1. Brown onions and add lamb in a saucepan, adding garlic and spices. Stir until spices are aromatic, and then add 60 ml (1/4 cup) water. Leave to simmer for about 5 minutes, making sure not to burn it.
