A curry-flavored dish that can be mild or hot depending on the type of curry powder you use. Ground lamb can be substituted for the cubed lamb. I think this dish is better made with white rice, but if you really prefer brown, you can use that.

nonstick cooking spray
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 medium onion, finely chopped
