I really enjoyed this receipe. Next time I will add an extra green chilli to it. We added the potatoe as suggested and accompanied it with a tomato and cucumber lime zest salad and naan bread. Perfect meal, flavours are great

The heat and combination of spices in this dish were amazing! In that regard, I wouldn't change a thing. I did find, however, that 900g of spinach was too much (I would halve it) and that the yogurt curdled when I put it in, even though I took the curry off the heat before adding in the yogurt. Honestly, I don't think the yogurt added a lot and next time I would leave it out. I used pre-cooked lamb (leftovers from our roast), which shortened the cooking time, and also added four peeled and chopped tomatoes. There was certainly enough for four people here, and I think you could stretch it to five or six if you added a couple side dishes. I served it with lynzmk's Easy Pilau Rice #55802, my homemade mango chutney #84244 and popadums.

Great recipe! I had been inspired by another (much fussier) recipe combining lamb and spinach when I saw this one. I'm glad I did and I served it to some friends that we'd spent a year in India with. Tough crowd and we all gave it two thumbs up. Made it "as is" except that it seemed that 900g spinach was a bit much so used a 1lb bag torn up. I will also make sure that the chili is a hotter one and adding the potatoe sounds like a good idea, depending on what you serve this dish with.
