- In a saucepan combine oil, cinnamon sticks, cumin, cloves and peppercorns, and cook for 1 minute, without burning. Add onion, and fry until golden brown. Add ginger and garlic paste. Fry for 1 minute until everything is golden brown.
- Add meat. Mix together, stir for a minute or two, then add about 500ml of water to cook, with the lid on, for 30 minutes, or until meat is tender. Stir occasionally.
- Make sure all the water has completely dried away, then add curry powder, turmeric, paprika and Karahi/Fry Gosht curry mix. Lower the heat to medium. Cook for 2 more minutes, and don't let it burn.
- Add tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and salt. Add a further 250-500ml of water, depending how thick a curry you want. Add garam masala and cook for a further 10-15 minutes on low heat.
- When the oil has separated (it usually floats up to the top), serve, garnished with coriander leaves.
