How to make Lamb Saag

1. Put the onion, garlic, ginger, chillies into a small food processor and whizz to a purée adding 1 tbsp water if you need to.
2. Heat 1½ tbsp oil in a large flameproof casserole or sauté pan. Brown the lamb all over in two batches, then lift onto a plate and put to one side.
3. Add the remaining oil and fry the spices in the same pan for 2 mins, adding a splash of water if they start to catch. Then add the onion purée and cook for 2 mins.

6. Scatter over the coriander. Serve with rice.
7. Enjoy!
