Kashmir Lamb With Spinach
This aromatic lamb curry is a flavourful dish where diced lamb is browned and then simmered with a blend of traditional spices including cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, and cloves. Onions, garlic, and ginger form the base, while chicken stock and cream create a luscious sauce. Fresh spinach is stirred in at the end, wilting into the curry. The entire process takes about 90 minutes to yield a tender and deeply spiced meal perfect for serving with rice or bread.
