Step-by-step
- For the marinade and meat: combine the meat with all the marinade ingredients and a teaspoon of salt in a bowl.
- Mix well, cover and leave in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or overnight.
- For the sauce: pour the oil into a pressure cooker and set it over a medium heat.
- When it's hot, add the sugar and stir occasionally as it dissolves.
- Add the onion and sauté for 30 seconds, then stir in the garlic and ginger. Fry for 10 minutes, or until the onion is browned.
- Spoon in the chilli powder and mix well. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes. Cook for 1 minute, then add the meat and its marinade. Brown the meat well on all sides for 7 minutes.
- The tomatoes and meat will release plenty of juices. Mix, then seal the lid.
- Heat to full pressure. Reduce the heat to very low and cook under pressure for 20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to drop by itself. Open the lid and return the pan to a high heat. Bring to a boil and add the garam masala.
