Set a large saucepan over a medium-high heat with 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Cook the meat for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the cinnamon, bay leaves and mixed spice along with salt and pepper. Stir to combine then pour in 1 litre cold water. Stir in the onions and tomatoes and cover with a lid. Simmer for 30 minutes or until the meat is well cooked.
Step 2
Make the sauce. Set a large saucepan with the ghee over a medium heat. Cook the onion, tomato, pepper and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, 1 tsp salt and cook for 2 minutes more. Top up the sauce with half of the broth from the meat. Leave to boil for 5-10 minutes.
