Singapore Lamb & Spinach curry

Recipe, lamb, south asian meatElizabeth AndersonComment

This lamb and spinach curry has its origins in the South Asian community in Singapore. We used our North Indian Meatball spice blend as it contains dried mint, which works really well with the lamb. Add as many chillies as you like, and stir in some chopped mint before serving. serves 4-6
