Before you start
- Boil a half-full kettle
- Pull out a medium frying pan
Prep the veg

Get sizzlin'
- Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the pork, onion, pepper and whole tomatoes

Build the dish
- Add the ginger & garlic paste, tikka paste, tomato puree and garam masala to the pan
