"This is classic recipe from India,it can be made using beef,pork or chicken. Traditionaly it is made with chicken, as beef is from a sacred animal and pork is not widely availiable in India. This is a curry that sorts the men from the boys. Superb."

This became a family favorite. We started extending the recipe with chick peas, then cauliflower, and finally potatoes. I double the spices to keep the rich flavor with the extra ingredients.
