1
Cut the lamb into small pieces and rinse thoroughly with water and vinegar.
2
Add the lamb to a pot with all purpose seasoning, mixed herbs, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and green seasoning. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes without liquid.
3
Stir the meat, then add water and simmer for 20–30 minutes until the lamb is tender.
4
Blanch the spinach in hot water for about 15 minutes, then squeeze out excess liquid and cover with a plate to keep it vibrant.
5
Add curry powder to the cooked meat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
6
Transfer the cooked meat to a bowl. Add oil to the pot and fry the blended vegetable mix for about 10 minutes.
7
Once the vegetable mix is golden, add fresh basil leaves (leaves only, no stems) and mix well.
8
Pour the cooked meat back into the pot and stir to combine.
9
Add the squeezed spinach, mix thoroughly, and steam for 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings to preference.

The stew is ready to serve. Total cooking time is approximately 40–45 minutes. Serve with long-grain rice.
