Lamb Mince With Spinach Keema Saag

I adapted this recipe from various ones i've tried in the past that i found were never quite right. it's not entirely authentic, but it works with what i have in the kitchen, and my husband loves it. this is an easy to make, one-skillet dinner, great for after work. serve either with rice, chappatis or naan.
