  1. TENDER LAMB

    Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 250ml of boiling water. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with some oil. When hot, fry the lamb for 1-2 minutes until sealed but not cooked through. Add the curry paste to taste and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Mix in the tomato paste and stock, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes until the lamb is tender and the sauce is thick. Stir occasionally and remove from the heat on completion.

  2. MIX THE DOUGH

    Set aside 1 tsp of flour. Place the rest in a bowl with the coriander seeds and a good pinch of salt. Using your hands, rub in 10ml of oil until it forms breadcrumbs. Mix in 35ml of yoghurt until combined in a sticky ball. If too dry, mix in water in 5ml increments until combined. Use ½ of the reserved flour to dust a flat surface. Place the dough on top and knead until smooth. Divide into 2 pieces and roll into balls. Cover with cling wrap and pop in the fridge.

  3. OH-SO-CREAMY

    Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the grated garlic and fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in a small splash of water to deglaze the pan and remove from the heat. Stir in the cream until heated through. Transfer to a bowl, cover to keep warm, and set aside.

  4. GREENS

    Boil the kettle again. Place the shredded spinach in a bowl, submerge in boiling water, and allow to sit for 1 minute. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out the excess water with paper towel. Place in a blender with the cream sauce and blend until smooth. Season, cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.

  5. FLATBREADS

    Spread the reserved flour across a flat surface. Place the dough balls on top and use a rolling pin to shape into flat discs of 10-12cm in diameter. Return the pan to a high heat with a small drizzle of oil or knob of butter. When hot, cook the flatbreads one at a time for 2 minutes per side until heated through and lightly crisped. Remove from the pan on completion and allow to drain on paper towel.

  6. ASSEMBLE

    Place the flatbreads on a board and smother in spinach purée. Top with the saucy lamb, mango atchar, and remaining yoghurt. Garnish with the rinsed coriander leaves. What a treat!
