Spicy Mince With Rice & Spinach image

This recipe is on a sheet cut out from a magazine years ago. I think it's probably family circle, but not certain. Made it quite a lot for a while, but then stopped. We seem to be returning to our old favourites here for a while.

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, sliced

1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/4 teaspoons garam masala
1 1/2 lbs ground lamb (I use whichever mince I have on hand) or 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey (I use whichever mince I have on hand)

12 ounces basmati rice
