Fry the Onions, Curry leaves & Whole spices till Onions are brown add the ginger/garlic paste & fry for 3-4 mins on low heat till the raw smell goes, add Green Chillies; Turmeric pwd; Salt (check before adding salt because you are using a soup cube & you have used salt in seasoning the meat etc.,); add the mat pcs & fry on both sides lightly; once the meat has fried add the mashed tomatoes & continue to fry for a further 2-3 mins add soup or the soup cube (if your using the soup cube add 4 cups water) & cooker the mat in a pressure cooker till tender say for 20 mins.

For a Variation:
Instead of making dumpling or rolling out shapes now a days we are getting a lot of pasta in different shapes take a handful of 3-4 kinds of pasta boil & add to the Stew.
For Vegetarians - Instead of Meat Pieces you could add Soya Chunks, Vegetables, dumpling or rolled out shapes or pasta & make the Stew.
Instead of using Meat pcs. You could prepare a dry chillie mince (out of chicken/pork/mutton/beef), make small little puries (discs) place a tablespoon of the mince filling in the center & seal tightly (like little money bags) drop these into the stew & cook till done then add the flour/water mixture for thickening remove add limejuice or Vinegar, garnish with coriander leaves & nutmeg.
