A great way to ‘stretch’ meat and add flavour. We have been using this twice-cooked method very successfully. Firstly, a long, slow cook for the meat, followed by the addition of sautéed vegetables and the Tikka Curry Sauce. The ideal way to guarantee tender meat, fresh tasting vegetables and an aromatic sauce.
