-Add beef mince, then when cooked, add dill seeds, fenugreek and turmeric and cook for a couple of minutes before adding flour and ‘cooking off’ for another minute.
-Add coconut milk, tomatoes and beef stock, stirring while making a thick sauce.  Taste for seasoning.. you might want to add extra stock or a splash of soy sauce. If sauce needs extra liquid, you can add a dash of milk or more coconut milk.
