5 chillies, seeded and chopped
5 cloves
5 bay leaves
5 allspice berries
4 cardamom pods
5 sticks cinnamon sticks

2. Add the remaining ingredients and braise on a medium to low heat for 2 hours, adding just a little water now and then to prevent burning, and stirring when required.

3. Serve with mashed potatoes or yellow rice and vegetables like carrots, peas, sweetcorn and gem squash.
