About

A simple but gorgeous dish with a great creaminess from the nuts and seeds. The potatoes need to be cooked until they are really soft. You will probably want to have some vibrant green beans with this, to counteract the richness.

Ingredients

2 tsp blanched almonds
1 tsp coriander seeds
2 tsp

Method

Place the almonds and the coriander, sesame, poppy and cumin seeds into a dry frying pan. Toast over a medium heat, stirring, until slightly darker and aromatic. Remove from the pan and grind them together in a coffee or spice grinder until very fine. Set aside.

Put the meat into a bowl with the garlic, ginger, turmeric, chilli and salt to taste. Mix well, cover and leave to marinate in
