This curry is HOT if you follow my dad's recipe, but it can be adapted by reducing the amount of chilli's!

1 and a half pounds of meat or chicken (I've used prawns or just veg before too) 
1 onion chopped, 
8 cloves of garlic minced, 
1 ounce chopped ginger (lazy is fine), 
3 tablespoons of ghee or clarified butter, 
14 ounces of chopped tomatoes, 
1 tablespoon of ketchup, 
1 tablespoon of tomato purée, 
12 dried chilli's, 
1 tsp ground cumin, 
1 tsp ground coriander, 
3 tsp chilli powder, 
1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves, 
1 tsp garam massalla. 

Fry meat to seal then set aside, fry onion garlic & ginger until golden, mix slices with water to firm a paste, then add to onion mixture & cook for ten mins, add all the tomatoes (ketchup & paste too) to the mixture with the chilli's & cook for ten mins, whack your meat in & stir well, cook in a pre heated oven for about 45 mins to 1 hr.
