Preparation Steps
Heat the oil on medium and fry the onions until golden
Turn up the heat and cook the garlic and ginger paste for around 30 seconds until the bitter smell disappears.
Add the salt, paprika, chilli, cumin, coriander, turmeric, sugar and mix powder and and cook for a further 30 seconds stirring continuously.
Add the tomato paste, water and fresh tomato slices, turn down the heat to medium and simmer for around 5 minutes.
Add your choice of meat (I always add my pre-cooked lamb), then add the cashew paste and yoghurt (or cream) stirring continuously whilst adding.
