Rogan Josh Style Lamb Meatballs

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

In a large bowl, combine half the garlic, north Indian style spice mix, breadcrumbs and the salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the lamb mince. 

Season with pepper and mix together with your hands. Roll into evenly-sized balls, 5 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. 

Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the pan and fry until browned all over, 5-6 mins. Stir in the remaining garlic and rogan josh paste. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 mins. 

Pour in the passata, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) and the chicken stock paste. Stir to combine.

Season with salt and pepper, then cover with a lid or foil and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, 6-7 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Once the meatballs are cooked, stir in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
