Dry fry spices stirring continuously until mustard seeds start to pop.
Add oil enough to cover bottom of pot. Add onion. Cook until onions start to change colour.
Add garlic, ginger, chili and curry leaves. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes while stirring.
In a bowl mix marsala and turmeric with 1/4 cup water making a paste of thick consistency.
Add to pot and cook while stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Add meat. Stir until other ingredients coat meat. Add salt according to taste.
Cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes or until all meat has been browned.
Reduce heat and place a tight sealing lid on the pot. Cook for a further 20 to 30 minutes depending on type of meat used and stir occasionally.
Before serving stir through most of the coriander. Sprinkle remainder on top as a garnish.
