Gently fry the 3 sliced onions with plenty of oil until golden (approx 25 minutes on a medium heat). Make a paste of the curry powder and chilli powder with a little water. Fry the chopped onion until translucent in the veg oil then add the garlic, ginger and chilli and stir fry on medium for a further 5 minutes. Add the curry and chilli powder paste and stir in and fry for a further 30 secs. Add the meat pieces and stir fry until almost cooked. Add the Massalla Gravy and simmer for 5 minutes or until the meat is cooked, stirring occasionally. If needed add more massalla gravy or water to prevent the curry becoming too thick or dry. Now drain the fried onions and stir well into the curry. Add the finely chopped coriander leaves and cook for a further minute. Serve with the whole coriander leaves sprinkled over the top. For a zesty alternative try substituting sliced pickled onions for the 3 sliced onions.
