Lamb and potato curry

Main Serves 4 45 min
A hearty, Indian-spiced weeknight curry. Serve with rice or naan bread, yoghurt and chopped fresh coriander if you have it. Stir in a generous handful of spinach at the end of cooking for some added green. Try sweet potatoes instead of normal potatoes – their sweetness goes well with lamb.

  • 450g minced lamb
  • 3 cardamom pods
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp garam masala
