- 3 cardamom pods
- 1/8t cayenne

- Cube the lamb and cook it (in batches, as needed) in a hot wok with 2 T oil. Try to evenly brown the cubes, then set aside.
- Add 1 T oil and stir fry the onion, garlic, and ginger for 2-3 minutes.

- Return lamb to this mix. Add tomatoes, water, and salt.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer over very low heat for 1 hour (stirring occasionally).
- Once lamb is cooked and tender, increase the heat and gradually add the spinach. Cook until spinach wilts and most liquid has evaporated. Stir in the garam masala.
- Serve over rice -- or with naan -- and enjoy!
- Mix cinnamon and nutmeg into warm honey (or syrup). Drizzle over oatmeal/nut mixture and coat evenly.
- Bake (on a sheet in a thin layer) at 300F for 20-35 minutes, stirring perhaps once.
- Add dried fruit and sugar, and allow to cool completely before transferring to storage container / stomach.
