Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions, green chillies and thyme, then the cinnamon stick, bay leaves, star anise, cumin seeds and fennel seeds. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.
2. Add the turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, cardamom powder, chilli flakes, chilli powder or masala and ginger-garlic paste. Stir well and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Pour in the blended tomatoes and add the curry leaves. Mix well and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the oil starts to separate.
4. Add the mince and season with salt. Stir in the fresh coriander and mint, breaking up the mince as it cooks. Cook for about 10 minutes. Do not add water at this stage.
5. Add the quartered potatoes with a little water, just enough to cook them. Cover and simmer until tender, adding more water if needed, a little at a time so the curry stays thick.
6. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander.
