- STEP 3Cook the onions for 20 minutes on low-medium heat with lid on and stir every 5 minutes. You can add a bit of water (half a cup) if you feel the onions are drying up in the oil. When the onions have caramalised (turned brown), add tomato puree and stir for a few minutes
- STEP 4Now add the marinated meat, stir thoroughly, add half a cup of water, stir again and put the lid on allow it to cook over low-medium heat for about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes
- STEP 5Check to see if the meat feels tender and garnish with finely chopped coriander
- STEP 6Big tip if you don't have the time to stir over a stove: You can cook this in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes. Just bung all the ingredients (after marinating the meat) into the pressure cooker with 1 cup of water and let it do the hard work.
