Method

1. Fill your kettle and boil it. Peel and finely chop the onion. Dice the tomatoes. Warm a medium-sized pan over a medium heat for 2 mins, then add 1 tbsp oil and the chopped veg. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry, stirring often, for 5 mins till the veg are glossy and starting to soften.
2. While the veg fry, peel and crush or grate the garlic. Peel and grate the ginger. Stir them into the veg with the Bombay spice blend, black onion seeds and curry leaves. Cook and stir for 1 min.
3. Add the lamb to the pan and stir well to mix, then pour in 300ml boiling water. Stir to mix, pop on a lid (or use a baking tray if you don't have a lid) and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 30 mins till the lamb is tender.
4. When the lamb is 15 mins away from being ready, tip the rice into a sieve and rinse it under cold water. Tip into a small pan, add a pinch of salt and pour in 300ml boiling water. Cover and bring to the boil, then turn the heat right down and very gently simmer for 8 mins till the rice has absorbed all the water. take off the heat and leave in the pan, lid on, for 3-5 mins to steam the rice and finish cooking it.
5. Fork the spinach into the lamb curry to wilt it. Taste it and add a pinch of salt if you think it needs it.
6. Fluff the rice with a fork and divide between 2 warm plates. Top with the Mumbai spiced lamb and serve.
