    ThermoFun - Lamb Saag Recipe

    Jump to recipe

    Our family loves a good curry and this Thermomix Lamb Saag is no different!  You can imagine the looks I got when this was put down on the table.  I had to the convince them all to at least give it a go!  Grown adults and I almost had to do the "3 spoonfuls then you can hop down from the table".  Well after one they were all praises.  I tell you this cooking gig is bloody hard work some days!

    A beautiful flavoursome filling dish with warmth but no heat. The spinach adds a delightful texture. Look past the end result and give it a go!  You won't be disappointed.

      Hi. This might seem a silly question...but can I make the curry without the meat and then add the meat later? I have fresh spinach that needs using but no lamb. Not much meat at all for that matter. By the time I get some, the spinach will be no good.

      I have this cooking in my thermie at the moment for a big family gathering tomorrow, thought it best to cook a day ahead for flavours to develop. My nephew is lactose intolerant so thought I would put in Zymil cream and coconut yoghurt instead of normal cream and Greek yoghurt, I'm hoping it will work out ok. Overall, a very easy and quick curry to make, given I made the marinade yesterday and marinated the meat this morning. Looking forward to tasting it tomorrow.

      This is one of our favourites. I used half a leg of lamb and diced that up. Was way more economical then other cuts at the supermarket. Was tender and super flavoursome even the kids got seconds. Thx!!

      Can you add the spinach frozen, or should it be defrosted ????

        Apologies Christine - add the onion in step 2 of the marinade. I have now amended the recipe. Enjoy! :)
