2 cloves Garlic, finely-grated 1 thumb Ginger, finely-grated 1 Red Chillies, finely-chopped 4 Cardamon pods 2 Cloves 1-1/2tsp Coriander seeds 1-1/2tsp Cumin seeds 6 Black peppercorns 1 tin Chopped tomatoes 3 pinches Sea salt 300g Leftover turkey meat, diced into 2cm pieces
Cooking Method
1 In a medium saucepan covered with a lid, on a medium heat, sweat the onions in the butter for 5 minutes until they are soft and cooked through.
Remove the lid and continue to cook until the onions start to caramelise. Continue to brown the onions for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time to achieve an even golden colour.

Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and cook for stir for 30 seconds to cook out the rawness. In a separate small frying pan, on a high heat, gently toast the spices for a minute, before taking off the heat and grinding to a fine powder.
Add this to the onions and spices and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in 2 tins of chopped tomatoes, bring to a simmer, season and taste. Turn the heat to medium and leave it to reduce by a third.
3 Add the cooked turkey meat, cover with a lid and leave on a low heat for a minimum of 15 minutes.
When you’re ready to serve, taste one final time and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you find it is a little too hot, you can always serve a little raita on the side to cool the intensity of the curry.
To make the raita, simply mix the yoghurt and cucumber together. A little chopped mint would also be nice.
Serve the curry with a generous helping of wholegrain rice and garnish with a sprig of coriander and sliced spring onions if you wish.
