To make curry, melt 45 g ghee or butter in a large saucepan and cook meat in batches until brown on all sides. Remove meat form pan and set aside. Melt remaining ghee or butter in pan, add onion and chilies and cook for 4-5 minutes or until onion is golden. Stir in garlic, coriander, saffron, cumin, mustard seeds and half the garam masala and cook for 1 minute longer. Stir water, tomatoes, curry leaves and cinnamon stick into pan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to simmering, return meat to pan, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Remove pan from heat, stir in remaining garam masala and yoghurt. Return pan to heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick.

For the Golden Rice, place rice, coconut milk, saffron, lime leaf and coconut in a heavy based saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice has absorbed the coconut milk and is tender.
