Method
- 1
Heat the oil in a large heavy pan over a medium heat. Add the cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves and cumin seeds and fry for 30 seconds until they smell sweet.
- 2
Add the onions and cook for 12 minutes, stirring, until deep golden brown. This colour is where the flavour comes from.
12 min - 3
Stir in the ginger and garlic for 1 minute, then add the meat in two batches, browning each for 3 to 4 minutes.
- 4
Add the tomatoes and all the ground spices and salt. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring, until the tomato has broken down and the oil shows at the edges.
8 min - 5
Pour in the water, scrape up the bottom, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently for 1 hour.
60 min - 6
Add the potatoes, cover again and cook for 30 minutes more, until the meat is very tender and the potatoes are soft. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry.
30 min - 7
Rest for 5 minutes, scatter over the coriander and serve with rice and dal.
