Stir the mixture for 3-4 minutes or until it has browned a little. Add the meat and any liquid that has come out of them, a little salt, the cream and 100ml water. Bring to the boil.
- Cover the pan, turn the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until the meat is tender. Stir every now and then to make sure nothing has stuck. If the sauce is too liquid then simmer it with the lid off until it thickens, if it's too thick add a little water. Skim off any fat then stir in the garam masala. To serve, sprinkle with coriander
