Ingredients

75 ml vegetable oil
2 large onions, chopped
2 cardamom pods
3 sticks cassia
4 cloves
1 kg lamb, cut into chunks
1 large, ripe tomato, chopped
10 ml curry powder
10 ml ground cumin
5 ml ground coriander
10 ml ground fennel (optional)

10 ml crushed garlic
5 ml crushed root ginger

Sea salt to taste

Method

Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion, cardamom pods, cassia and cloves, and sauté until the onion is transparent.

Add the meat and tomato, and braise for 10 minutes.

Add the potato and cook until done.

Sprinkle with the coriander and serve with jasmine rice or rotis and a selection of sambals.
