Step 1.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, crushed garlic, and grated ginger, and cook, stirring continuously, for 6–8 minutes, until the onions are golden brown.
-
Step 2.
Add the garam masala, ground cumin, and chili powder to the pan, stirring to coat the onions. Then add the minced lamb, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, stirring to coat in the spices.
-
Step 3.
Pour the canned chopped tomatoes into the pan along with the salt, sugar, and 125ml (½ cup) of boiling water. Stir to combine, bring to a boil, then add the frozen peas, carrot ribbons, and spinach. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
-
Step 4.
While the keema simmers, butter both sides of each slice of bread. Preheat the toasted-sandwich maker. To assemble, place one slice of bread on a cutting board, spoon a quarter of the keema mixture into the center, and spread it evenly almost to the edges, leaving a thin border. Top with another slice of bread. Repeat to make 2–4 sandwiches, depending on your machine's capacity.
-
Step 5.
Transfer the assembled sandwiches to the preheated toasted-sandwich maker and cook until the bread is crisp and golden brown. Keep the cooked toasties warm while you repeat with the remaining filling and bread. Serve hot.
