Remove seeds from cardamom pods and grind them in a spice grinder along with the fennel seeds, cloves, cinnamon stick, fenugreek seeds, peppercorns, coriander and cumin seeds. Set aside.

In a heavy skillet or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat; add the onions, garlic and ginger, cook stirring frequently until lightly browned.

Add the meat and continue to cook until brown all over; add all the spices and cook for 1 minute; add creamed coconut and 1 cup of water, stir to combine; or stir in the coconut milk.
