Lamb, Spinach and Chickpea Curry

Lamb, spinach and chickpea curry:-

Gently fry one chopped onion and 2 cloves chopped garlic.  Add 3 tsps garam masala, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp chilli (or to taste), 1 tsp ground ginger and gently fry for 2 minutes.  Add 1 tin chopped tomatoes and stir.  Leave for 1 minute and add 350 diced lamb.  Put lid on saucepan and simmer for hour or so until lamb almost completely soft.  Add one tin chickpeas (drained) and add 1/2 - 3/4 bag baby spinach and cook until wilted.  That's it pretty much I think.

Southampton, Exciting Southampton

Looking for somewhere to visit?
Then come to Southampton. Walk the Titanic mile.
Visit Tudor House Museum or The Sea city Museum.
Walk the historic City walls. There are even a couple of medieval pubs!
The Red Lion, Below Bar and The Duke of Wellington in Bugle St.
For shoppers look no further than West Quay.
For dining try Kutis Thai Restaurant which is housed in The Royal Pier.
Take a stroll along Weston Shore and look out over the waters where the great liners have sailed.

Southampton has a lot to offer, all year round. I've lived here all my life and i still find places to go, and things to do, that I haven't done before.

Hidden treasure

Southampton has one or two hidden treasures and one of them is Hatch Grange. Until we got a dog three years ago we never new it existed. Perched on a hill in West End, the park is a real gem. When the leaves on the trees change colour in autumn the colours are amazing.
The views are good too, with plenty of walks to take your dog on. Where is it? You'll have to find it!
