Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 2 hours

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

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 remaining ingredients, except the potato and coriander leaves, close with a tightly fitting lid and simmer until the meat is just tender, about 1 hour.

Add the potato and cook until done.
