Notes
- We have added spinach to this dish, however you could use other greens such as kale, cabbage or chard.
- Don't cut the lamb too small, as it will just fall apart and blend into the sauce.
- We used a lamb fillet and cut it into chunks, however you could save time by buying chunks of lamb from the supermarket or butcher. You could even swap the lamb for beef or chicken.
- You can make this a little more indulgent by using single cream rather than the 0% yogurt that we used.
- If you wanted to cut back on some of the meat, you could halve the lamb and then add some mushrooms and red lentils.
- Make sure to cut all the chunks of lamb to the same size (about 4cm cubes) so they cook evenly.
- You could pull the chunks of lamb when cooked, to make kind of a pulled lamb curry, however we like the tender chunks of lamb.
