Method

Blend the ginger, garlic and 4 tblsp water in a liquidiser to a smooth paste.

Heat the oil in a large pot or wok and brown the meat cubes evenly in batches. Set aside.

Put the cardamoms, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns and cinnamon into the same oil. Stir once and wait until the cloves swell (a few seconds). Add the chopped onions and stir fry for 5 minutes.

Add the ginger/garlic paste and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add the chopped tomatoes, red chilies, coriander, cumin, paprika/chili powder and salt and stir fry for another minute.

Add the meat cubes and stir fry for 30 seconds then put in 1 tblsp of the yoghurt and stir fry for 30 seconds or until the yoghurt is blended in. Add the remaining yoghurt, 1 tblsp at a time, the same way. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the 300 ml water and bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes.

Uncover, turn the heat to medium and boil of some of the liquid to leave a thick sauce. Sprinkle on the garam masala and black pepper and mix them in.
 
I believe it was basically one of Madhur's from the book I mentioned earlier.
