• 2 tsp coriander ground
• 2 tsp turmeric
• 275 g plain yoghurt
• 6-8 vine tomatoes cut into quarters

Instructions

1. Heat ghee/oil in a heavy based pan and brown onions
2. Add garlic and ginger paste, with all the spices, stir for a few seconds
3. Add the meat and stir thoroughly to brown for about 5 -10 mins.
4. Add yogurt tomatoes and coconut cream mix well.
5. Add some water if needed and lower heat and put a lid on to simmer for approx. 1 hr. Keep checking from time to time to avoid mixture sticking to side. (If the yogurt starts to curdle, then simply add a sprinkle of plain flour and little water)
