Saag Gosht Recipe
Tender lamb in a vibrant green gravy made with pureed spinach and spices.
Boil the chopped spinach leaves in water for 4-5 minutes and add it to ice water. This will make sure your spinach remains vibrant green. Then add it to a blender and blitz until you have a smooth paste.
Heat the oil. Add the lamb pieces and let it sear on both sides for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the remaining oil in the pan, add the whole spices and cook for 20-30 seconds until they darken.
Add the chopped onions and cook until they turn golden brown. Add ginger, garlic and chopped green chillies and cook for a minute.
Add the dry masalas and fry them until they’re cooked - about a minute or so. Add the tomato puree and cook until it has dried out and you see oil releasing at the edges.
Add the lamb back to the pan and toss well. Add 2 cups of water, cover and cook on low heat for about 1 hour until the lamb is cooked and tender.
Once the lamb is cooked, and the gravy is dry, add the spinach paste, give it all a good mix, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Drizzle some fresh cream on top and serve hot with rotis or rice.

An Easy Caramel Custard Recipe For All Your Sweet Cravings
Start by making the caramel. Add half of the sugar in a large heavy-bottomed pan and cook it on low heat until the sugar is melted and golden. Then add this to the bottom of the dish you're using to make the custard - whether a large one or 4 smaller ones. Let the caramel sit while you prepare the custard.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla and the remaining sugar until everything is well incorporated. Take care to ensure that it doesn't get foamy. Pour this mixture over the caramel.
To bake, you will need to place your custard in a larger tray because it needs to be baked in a water bath. Place the custard bowl(s) in a larger baking tray, place this in the oven, and before closing the door, add boiling water into the baking tray up to around 1 inch depth.
Now bake this at 180℃ for 40 minutes. To test if it completely cooked, insert a knife in the centre. It should come out clean. Once it's cooked, remove the bowl(s) to cool on a wire rack.
To unmold the caramel custard, run a knife around the edges and then invert the bowl on to a plate. The caramel will run down the edges and coat your entire custard. You could serve this slightly warm or completely cold.
We hope you and your loved ones will enjoy this delicious and hearty 6-course meal made with our range of fresh meats & seafood, our ready-to-cook kebabs, our ready-to-eat spreads, and more! Thank you for being such an important part of our journey!
