4. Reheat the juices in the pan until simmering, stir in the onion paste and simmer for 5 minutes; then stir in 300ml/1/2 pint of water.

5. Grate in the chocolate, crumble in the stock cube and stir in the tomato purée; add the turkey and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the turkey is hot and the sauce is thick; garnish with sesame seeds and coriander, and serve with sour cream and Fried Mexican Potatoes and Capsicum Recipe # -- warm tortillas.
