Instructions
- 1Put the meat cut into pieces, in a large pan with the onions. Add the turmeric and enough water to cover. Bring to the boil then cook gently until the meat is very tender and can easily be removed from the bones.
- 2While the meat is cooking, cut the orange peel into thin match style pieces, removing as much pith as possible. Leave to soak in a bowl of water.
- 3When the meat is tender, remove from the pan and when cool enough, remove the meat from the bones and shred the meat into strips with your hands. Return the meat to the pan.

Chef tips
This locks in the flavours and creates a depth of taste that elevates this family dish. For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the yoghurt with unsweetened soya yoghurt or coconut cream and a hint of lemon. Kids will love garnishing the dish with pomegranate seeds or toasted almonds.
