Method
1
To begin, place a large, heavy-based pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, peppercorns, fenugreek seeds and bay leaf and allow to sizzle. Once the spices change colour, add the onions and garlic and sauté until they are nicely cooked and golden brown
