  1. Marinate the turkey with yogurt, salt and chilli powder from the “for turkey marinade” ingredients list. Marinate for 3 hours or even overnight.

  3. Heat remaining canola oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black pepper, red chilli, the onions and cook for 5 minutes, until softened, stirring often.

  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for another 4 minutes until oil oozes. Add the turkey pieces to the pan and coat with sauce.
  7. Serve over cooked basmati rice and garnish with cilantro.
