Introduction
This is an old Mughalai Recipe which tastes really great.However a little modification was needed to reduce calories from Fats.To make this easier to cook I've reduced the total Fat by 75%----if possible interested people could try reducing it further.Adjust the spiciness to suit personal tastes as this Curry looks great and tastes great with a rich red colour.

Heat 5 tbsps.of Oil and add the Seasoning Spices.When these sputter,lower flame and add the finely chopped Mint, Turmeric and Red Chilli Powders and saute for 30 seconds.Add the marinated Meat and finely sliced Shallots.
Fry on slow flame till the Shallots melt and all the juices and moisture in the Meat dry up and Oil shows at the edges of the Curry.Add Salt to taste,Tomato Puree,Ginger Juliennes and 1 cup of Water.Cover and simmer stirring occasionally till Meat is 75% cooked.

TIPS
I prefer using Mustard Oil instead of the other Oils because it is heart healthy.To use Mustard Oil first heat the raw Oil to smoking point.Allow to cool to room temprature and bottle it to use as and when required.
