The Method
1. Reserve 1 tablespoon ghee or butter and heat the remainder with the oil in a heavy based saucepan over a low heat. Add the cinnamon, cardamom and cloves and let them sizzle for about a minute.
2. Add the onion, increase the heat slightly, and cook for 5-6 minutes until it has softened. Add the ginger and garlic, continue to cook, stirring until the mixture is tinged with a light brown colour.
3. Add the ground spices, cook for about a minute and add half the tomatoes.
4. Cook over a medium heat until the tomato juice has evaporated and add the remaining tomatoes. Continue to cook until the mixture resembles a thick paste and the fat separates from the paste.
5. Add the meat and increase the heat to high, cook until it changes colour. Add 150ml/5fl oz warm water and bring it to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Sprinkle over the garam masala and stir in half the coriander leaves. Remove from the heat and garnish with the remaining coriander leaves and dollop of yoghurt.
Note: Serve with plain boiled basmati rice or naan.
