Ingredients

  • 700 g Lamb
  • 400 g Turnip Shalgam
  • 100 g Spinach
  • 1 litre Water
  • 100 ml Oil
  • 2 Onions
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 3 Tomatoes pureed
  • 1 handful Coriander

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium heat.
  • Once hot, add the sliced onions and sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn lightly golden.
  • Place the lamb into the pot and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring regularly, until the meat changes colour and is lightly browned on all sides.
  • Add the spices and mix thoroughly to coat the lamb evenly. Continue cooking for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the spices from sticking or burning.
  • Pour in the pureed tomatoes and stir well. Cook for 5–6 minutes over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have reduced and the oil begins to separate from the masala.
  • Pour in the water and stir to combine. Cover the pot with a lid and allow the lamb to simmer over a medium heat for 20-25 minutes.
  • Add the chopped turnips and spinach, stirring gently to combine them with the lamb and gravy.
  • Cover the pot again and continue cooking for 15–20 minutes, or until the turnips are tender and the lamb is fully cooked.
  • Finish by adding the freshly chopped coriander and stirring gently to distribute it throughout the curry.
  • Serve hot with freshly made chapati, naan or rice.
