Method
1. Heat a large, lidded casserole or slow cooker dish. Add a slosh of oil. Tumble your onions in. Lower heat. Cook till softened and glossy, don't let them colour up
2. Swirl in garlic, ginger, chilli and spices. Fold the beef through. Sizzle till beef colours up a bit. Add a little more oil, if needed.
3. Tumble the tomatoes in. Squish them if using whole tomatoes. Mix potatoes in. Pour in enough water or stock to cover. Tuck some bay leaves in, if using. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer for 2-3 hrs or till meat is fall-apart tender. Or pop into a slow cooker overnight (or in the morning, ready for dinner).
4. Garnish with fresh herbs. Delicious with rice or naan bread and a dollop of natural yogurt.
