Method

Heat the ghee or vegetable oil in a deep-sided frying pan or balti pan. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until the onion is tinged brown at the edges. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in the balti spice mix, garam masala, curry leaves (if using) and the steak, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the steak is brown. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
Add the tomatoes, stock, tomato purée and squash. Bring to the boil, cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the squash is tender. Return the steak to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Serve with saffron pilau rice, garnished with coriander leaves.
