Place Cauliflower in an oven proof dish, spray with coconut oil and cook in a 180 degree Celsius oven until browning (approximately 20 minutes)

In a bowl combine all spices and mix well. 

In a hot pan brown cubed Lamb.  (Be careful not to over crowd the pan as the lamb will sweat rather than brown.)   Add 1/2 spice blend to lamb, coat and cook off.  Set aside.

In a large based dutch oven (large saucepan), add coconut oil, eggplant, onion, garlic and cook until onion is translucent and eggplant browning.  When mixture is catching on bottom of pan add 1/4 cup of chicken stock and stir well lifting off bottom of pan.  Reduce liquid and repeat 3 times.   Add Kumara (golden sweet potato)  and 1/2 coriander and stir through.  Add the remaining spices to the saucepan and combine well. Cook for 5 minutes stirring well. Add diced Lamb to the saucepan and cover with remaining Chicken Stock.  Add salt to taste.  Simmer for 1/2 hour.  Add Beans & Coconut milk simmering for a further 20 minutes. Add remaining coriander and serve in bowls.  Serve with a fresh salad and Kumara Smash (see recipe).  Try a Berry & Hibiscus Herbal Ice Tea with the meal.   Serves 6
