Description

It is fairly easy to cook, just make sure you have all the necessary ingredients before you start this recipe.

Ingredients

1000 g turkey leg, boned and skinned, cut into 2 inch pieces
5 cloves
1 inch cinnamon stick, broken in half
2 black cardamom pods
1/2 tsp black peppercorns
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
1 bay leaf
4 onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp garlic, chopped
1 tbsp ginger paste
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp red chilli flakes
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
4 tomatoes, chopped
120 g plain yoghurt
2 green chillies, chopped
500 ml water
5 tbsp. fenugreek leaves, fresh, blanched for 1 min, drained and chopped
1/2 tsp dried fenugreek leaves, crumbled between your fingers
1/4 tsp garam masala
1/2 lemon, juiced
50ml vegetable oil

Directions

1. To begin, place a large, heavy-based pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, peppercorns, fenugreek seeds and bay leaf and allow to sizzle. Once the spices change colour, add the onions and garlic and sauté until they are nicely cooked and golden brown.

2. Add the ginger paste, salt, chilli powder, chilli flakes, cumin and coriander and turn the heat up to high. Cook for 2–3 min, stirring continuously. Add the turkey pieces and stir for 2 min until they are coated with the spices.

3. Add the tomatoes and cook for approximately 10 min, stirring constantly to ensure the spices do not stick to the bottom of the pan.

4. Once the oil starts to separate out from the masala around the edges of the pan, add the yoghurt and green chillies. Reduce the heat and bring back to the boil, stirring at regular intervals.

5. Add the water, bring back to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 20 - 20 min until the turkey is cooked through and the sauce is rich and thick. Stir in the blanched fenugreek leaves, followed by the garam masala, dried fenugreek leaves and lemon juice.

6. Serve with rice or naan bread.

Enjoy!
