heat a pan on medium and add the vegetable oil or ghee. Add the fennel and allow to fry until it starts to sizzle

Done

add the onion and continue to fry for a couple of minutes until the bitter smell disappears and it begins to caramelise

3

add the garlic and ginger paste, stir through and fry for around a minute

4
Done

turn up the heat to max and add the tomato puree, mix powder, salt, hot chilli powder, chilli flakes and dry methi leaves, stir through thoroughly and allow to cook out for a couple of minutes.

If you curries ever taste grainy it’s because you’re not cooking the spices enough at this stage

5
Done

add in half of the heated base gravy, stir through and allow to reduce for a couple of minutes before adding the remaining base

6
Done

after a further couple of minutes reduce the heat slightly as it tends to spit a lot at this stage, add the garam masala, sugar, squeeze of lemon and fresh chopped coriander and stir through well

7
Done

add your choice of protein and coat to stop it from drying out and add in the Mr Naga pickle and fresh sliced chillies as well

8
Done

allow to simmer until the oils separate, the meat is cooked through and the sauce is the consistency you require
