Method:

Heat the oil and brown the lamb neck slices on all sides in batches. Remove from the pot.
Add the butter to the pot and brown the onion rings.
Add the garlic, fresh ginger, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves and sugar to the pot and cook for a couple of minutes taking care not to burn the spice mixture.
Add the grated tomatoes and the turmeric and return the lamb to the pot moving around to cover all the lamb pieces with the tomato mixture.
Add two of the quartered potatoes (this will thicken the sauce), beef stock and chutney.
