In a med sauce pan add the olive oil and wait till it warms up a bit, now go ahead and add one onion and saute the onions till nice and golden brown making sure you don't burn the onions, next add the dried pappers and the cinnamon stick and saute that for a while too to excrete the flavors now add the ginger and garlic as well as the meat. Mix well until the meat has turned to a brown color now add the coriander powder, 1 tbsp gharam masala, salt, and the crushed tomatoes making sure to mix it really well, add 1 tsp gharam masala mix well cover and let cook until the meat is really tender. Make sure you add the rest of the gharam masala when you mix it in between. When the meat is almost done give it about 10 min and you will see the oil has separated now you are ready to add the saffron, the potatoes and the fried onions, Mix everything really really well sprinkle a bit more gharam masala in it, and the fried onions cover and let it just get happy for about 7 min.
