Preparation Steps
slice your choice of protein and marinate with the black pepper and salt, place aside
heat your pan on medium and add in the oil and onions. Cook stirring frequently until the onions have softened and begun to gently brown for around 5-10 minutes
tip over the mustard seeds and garlic and ginger paste, stir through well and fry for around 30 seconds until the strong garlic and ginger smell reduces
add in the green and red peppers, sliced green chillies and tomato paste and stir through well. Add a little water if needed and allow to fry out for 30-60 seconds to reduce the bitterness of the tomato puree
sprinkle over the coconut milk powder, sugar, chilli powder, fennel seeds, paprika and turmeric stirring in well. As before if you need to add a little base to keep things moving that’s completely fine. Allow to fry for a few minutes until the oil starts to separate
add in all of the base and stir through well
allow to reduce by half then add in the fresh sliced beef stirring gently to coat well in the sauce
sprinkle over most of the fresh coriander, stir through and cook until the sauce reaches your desired consistency and when your choice of protein is cooked through
serve sprinkled with the remaining fresh coriander
