Mix powdered spices and yoghurt, add meat and then leave to marinate overnight in the fridge. Fry onions in oil over a low to medium heat until browned. Add whole spices and stir for around a minute until they have cooked and released aroma. Add meat/yoghurt mix plus salt to taste (around ½ level tsp). Fry over a high flame for 5 to 6 minutes. Then lower heat, cover the pan and let cook for an hour or so until the meat is tender and sauce has reduced. If too thick add some boiling water, if too runny leave the lid off the pan to reduce.
