Ingredients

  • 300 g lean lamb steaks visible fat removed, cut into bitesized pieces
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 4 large garlic cloves peeled and chopped
  • 5 cm piece fresh root ginger peeled and chopped
  • 1 red chillie deseeded and chopped
  • 2 tbsp balti curry paste
  • 400 g can chopped tomatoes
  • 200 g new potatoes quartered
  • 400 ml water
  • 3 ripe tomatoes quartered
  • 200 g raw spinach leaves
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • one calorie oil spray e.g., FryLight

Instructions

  • Heat a large saucepan and spritz with one calorie oil spray. Fry the onions gently for abut 8 minutes - adding a drop of water if needed. Add the garlic, chilli, ginger and curry paste and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Heat a frying pan then spritz with one calorie oil spray. Season the lamb with some black pepper and fry the lamb until browned.
  • Using a hand held blender, or food processor, whizz the onion mixture until it becomes a coarse puree. You can add a splash of water if you need to. Put the puree back into the pan.
  • Add the browned lamb to the onion puree along with the canned tomatoes, potatoes and water. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer. Pop the lid on and simmer the stew for 40 minutes.
  • Stir occasionally, and after 40 minutes, add the quartered fresh tomatoes. Replace the lid and carry on simmering for another 10 minutes.
  • After an hour, add the fresh spinach leaves - the heat of the stew will make them wilt. Stir into the curry until mixed through.
  • Serve in bowls - no rice needed!
