Lamb with Spinach #2
Dilli Ka Saag Gosht

Ingredients:

8 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds cubed lamb
1/4 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 teaspoons ground cumin seeds
6 each whole cloves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 each bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 each cardamom pods
2 teaspoons salt
2 each medium onions finely chopped
5 tablespoons plain yogurt well beaten
6 each garlic cloves chopped
2 pounds fresh spinach chopped
1 each inch cube of ginger chopped
1/4 teaspoon garam masala

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium-high flame. When hot, put in the peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, and cardamom pods. Stir for a second. Now put in the onions, garlic and ginger. Stir and fry until the onions develop brown specks. Now add the meat, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, and 1/2 of the salt. Stir and fry for a minute. Add 1 tablespoon of the yogurt. Stir and fry for a minute. Keep doing this until all yogurt has been incorporated.

The meat should also have a slightly browned look. Add the spinach and the remaining salt. Stir to mix. Keep stirring and cooking until the spinach wilts completely. Cover tightly and simmer on low heat for about 1 hour or until meat is tender. Remove the lid and add the garam masala. Turn the heat to medium. Stir and cook another 5 minutes until most of the water in the spinach disappears and you have a thick, green sauce. Remove the whole spices and serve.
