1) Fry the sliced onions in the oil in a flameproof casserole until lightly browned. Then add the ginger, garlic, salt and meat and cook, stirring all the time, for 2 to 3 minutes.

2) Add the water, bring to the boil and cook for 30 to 40 minutes or until meat is tender.

3) Stir in the spinach and continue to cook, covered for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat and mix in the chopped coriander, dill yoghurt and chillies.
