Spinach combines very beautifully with robust flavor of lamb/goat meat (usually called mutton) and it is a well known fact. Saag Gosht, is very popular Indian dish which is rich in flavor and packed with nutrition. So this weekend make this warm, comforting and wholesome dish at home and dig in with some flavored rice or rotis.
Some people, add chopped spinach to the mutton and slow cook it until done but to me, pureed spinach works best. It gives totally new dimension to the dish, adding richness and creaminess. And also, I add the spinach puree when the mutton is almost done i.e., last ten minutes. This keeps the flavor and color of the spinach fresh.
