[issiemc]

This is a recipe I got from a chef in one of Bradford's oldest Curry Houses, it was given to me in the late 60's and one that I use all the time, friends love it
You can adapt it to other meats and veg.



Gosht Salan   
   600g     Gosht cut into cubes
   200g    Onion very thinly sliced
   200g   Fresh Tomato, chopped
   100g   Ghee

        1   tsp  Salt
        1   tsp     Chilli Seeds
        1   tsp     Coriander      Make a paste with 2 large tbsp Yogurt
   1/2 tsp     Turmeric
   1   tsp     Paprika


   40g   Fresh ginger grated   
   5    Cloves Fresh Garlic crushed

   1/2 pintWater
        5   Fresh Chillies chopped
   10   Sprigs fresh coriander chopped fine
   2 tsp   Methi leaves
   1 tsp   Garam Masala

Method
   Add the Ghee to the pan and get it to smoking point other wise the onions will just boil when you add them
Fry onions in ghee until golden around 20-30 mins, keep on a low to moderate heat, you need to bring out the flavour and colour

   And Meat and fry on a brisk heat until sealed, then turn down

   Add spice paste along with crushed ginger and garlic, cook on a medium heat until the ghee separates, again around 20 mins

   This is the secret to a good curry, get the ghee to rise to the top with the sauce underneath?   
       
         Add tomato along with Methi and Gram Marsala, add enough water for the meat to cook in and give you a good sauce

   Bring to boil and then simmer for 20- 30 mins

   Add fresh chillies and coriander and continue to simmer until meat is cooked to your liking

   Serve with Chappati or Rice ;D
