Pre-cooked stewed lamb/meat
1 tablespoons rapeseed oil

fry:
3 cloves
5 green cardamom pods, lightly bruised
5 black peppercorns
2teaspoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoon coriander seeds
piece of cinnamon stick
1 piece of mace
a few curry leaves (cassia leaves)

add:
1 large onions, finely chopped

then add:
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon Garlic and ginger paste
1kg leg of lamb, cut into 2.5cm (1in) pieces
1 tablespoon mild paprika
1 teaspoon chilli powder (optional)
2 teaspoon Garam masala

then add meat:

when ready add water to cover and simmer for 1hr 30mins

when ready to cook meal:
Heat oil in a pan over a medium-high heat until hot.

Add the dried chillies and (whole)cardamom pods, and allow to sizzle for about 30 seconds.

Be sure to count the cardamom pods in and count them back out again at the end of cooking if you don’t like biting into whole spices.

Scoop in the garlic and ginger paste along with the chopped chillies.

Allow them to sizzle for about 20 seconds then stir in the tomato purée followed by the ground cumin, coriander and turmeric, the chilli powder and mixed powder.

Now add 250ml of the base curry sauce along with the lamb. Simmer for about 2 minutes, without stirring unless it is obviously catching on the pan, scraping back in any caramelized sauce from the sides of the pan.

Pour in the rest of the base curry sauce and the stock, and let it simmer over a high heat until it has reduced down to your preferred consistency.

To serve, stir in the mango chutney and lime juice.

Check for seasoning and add salt to taste.
