Step 1

Using a pestle and mortar crush the cardamon pods and cloves together, discarding the cardamon shells.

Step 2

You could also use the end of a rolling pin if you don't have a pestle.

Step 3

In a food processor, add the chopped onions, garlic cloves, fresh ginger - and all the spices - the cumin, turmeric, chilli powder, salt, crushed cloves and cardamom. Then a splash of vegetable oil.

Step 4

Blitz until you get a fine paste. Add a little more if you think the paste isn't coming together as well as it should.

Step 5

Then add the paste, the pork meat, chopped potatoes, tinned tomatoes, chicken stock, vinegar and cinnamon stick into the slow cooker.

Step 6

Give all the ingredients a good stir then cook on low for 8 hours [or high for 4-5 hours].

Step 7

Serve with fresh coriander sprinkled on top, rice, naan and poppadoms.
