Brown the meat in batches to seal and set aside.
In a glug of oil, soften the roughly chopped onions, grated or finely chopped ginger, chopped chillies and crushed garlic.
When the onions are soft a beginning to go tranlucent, add the cumin, coriander, fenugreek and paprika. Stir for another minute or so to allow the spices to cook. Add the salt and pepper.
Add the meat, continue to stir combining the meat and vegetables. Add the tomatoes and stock, cover and simmer on a low heat for about 2 hours, until the meat is nice and tender.

Chef's Tips
This recipe is equally delicious using chicken, beef or mutton. I use 8 chillies with seeds, which makes for quite a hot curry, obviously you can experiment and vary to your taste.
