Lamb adds plenty of protein to this dish, while spinach provides a rich source of iron, which is integral in helping blood transport oxygen.

Pair this curry with brown rice to add fiber and more texture.

Preparation steps

Put the garlic, ginger, chillies and onion in a food processor and blend to make a puree.

Heat the oil in a wide pan and brown the meat pieces on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Fry the spices in the oil for 2 minutes then add the salt and onion puree and cook for 3 minutes.

Return the meat to the pan, add the tomato paste and lamb stock, then cover and simmer very gently for about 45 minutes. Add a little water during the cooking if needed.

Add the spinach to the pan and cook for a further 30 minutes or until the lamb is very tender.
