Heat a pan and add the sugar and coconut powder.

Keep stirring until the coconut powder just starts to brown.

Add about a third of the base gravy sauce and stir for 30 seconds, pushing out any lumps that appear.

Add the meat and cook for about 30 seconds; if using raw meat, cook until it starts to brown.

Add the cream and stir for another 30 seconds.

Add the ground almonds and let it simmer gently.

Stir every couple of minutes by scraping in the sides.

Serve when the sauce is the way you like it and when your meat is cooked if you used raw meat.
