Lamb Keema Ingredients

You only need a handful of convenient ingredients to make our flavour packed minced lamb curry recipe

• 2 teaspoon sunflower oil - you can swap for olive oil or butter if you prefer.

• 1 onion - finely chopped (if you've time you can also a tablespoon of grated ginger and couple of grated garlic cloves)

• 500g lamb mince - you can swap this for other ground meat - like beef, chicken or turkey.

• 3 tablespoon of curry paste - just choose your favourite - I usually use a Pataks Mild Curry Spice Paste when cooking for the kids. (alternatively use a couple of teaspoons of curry powder, a teaspoon of ground cumin, and teaspoon of ground turmeric)

• 200g frozen peas

• 4 blocks of frozen spinach

• 2 teaspoon garam masala

• small bunch of coriander - roughly chopped

• Pinch of salt

Optional - you can stir a couple of chopped fresh tomatoes through the curry as you add the frozen vegetables. This give a slightly more saucy consistency. If you want it to be very saucy, add a tin of chopped tomatoes.
