Saag Lamb

Ingredients

• •1 lb lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
• •1 lb fresh spinach, chopped
• •1 medium onion, diced
• •3 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• •2 tablespoons ghee or oil
• •1 cup plain yogurt
• •1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• •1 teaspoon garam masala
• •1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• •1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
• •to taste Salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1Heat ghee in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle for 30 seconds.
2. 2Add diced onion and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute.
3. 3Add lamb pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
4. 4Stir in turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. 5Add yogurt and stir well to coat the lamb. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until lamb is tender.
6. 6Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
7. 7Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes and serve hot with rice or naan.

💡 Saag lamb is better when the spinach is cooked down before joining the meat; excess water from greens can thin a sauce that should cling to tender lamb.
