Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, cook the lamb until browned all over for about 10 mins, then remove from the pan. Cook the onion in the same pan until golden brown, about 5 mins. Stir through the ginger, garlic, cumin and coriander, then cook for 2 mins more until you smell the spices. Return the lamb to the pan, pour over the tomatoes, bring to the boil, then leave to simmer over a gentle heat for 11⁄2 hrs until the meat is really tender. Top up with a little boiling water if the sauce becomes too dry. Add in the chickpeas and garam masala, then simmer for 5 mins more. Stir through spinach and cook until wilted slightly then season to taste.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes until softened, about 15 mins. Drain and mash. Stir through the curry paste and yogurt, and serve alongside the curry.

    Really nice. Some additional chilli is ideal but depends how hot you like things.

    Very, very nice, and really easy. Just be sure to choose a potato suitable for mashing.

    Simply delicious and so easy to make. My husband has already asked when we are having it again!! I think this recipe is one that would work well with beef as well so going to give that a try soon - will give you all an update.

    This was very tasty, easy to make and really enjoyed the different mash. Didn't blow me away hence only 4 stars, but I would make it again.

    I made this in the slow cooker using chicken instead of lamb. The curry was great but we werent overly impressed with the mash...we'll have it with rice next time.

    Thinking about trying this recipe. Always worth looking through previous comments for recommendations. The last 3-4 comments were a load of rubbish about money and cars. Is the web site vetting the comments? Judging by these comments - obviously not. I'm still interested in the recipe but may give up on the comments posted!
