Lamb Saag

My favourite Indian (lamb) dish...I first tried it in a local restaurant and I liked it very much;  I then  researched for a recipe on the internet. Tastes even better...

Cover and cook for 1-1 1/2 hours (or until meat tender). Last 10-15 minutes add spinach and season to taste. Garnish with yogurt and coriander before serving (with rice).

Saag Jagnjetina 

 Jedno od najdrazih Indijskih jela sa jagnjetinom. Prvi put sam ga probala u jednom lokalnom restoranu, odusevila se i bacila na trazenjerecepta (na internetu). Moram priznati da je cak i bolje nego u restoranu.
