Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan, along with the bay leaves, cloves and cinnamon.
When the spices have started to sizzle add the onions, garlic and ginger. Fry for a couple of minutes until the onions have turned translucent.
Add the mince, fry until browned. Stir continuously to break down the meat.
Add the remaining spices to the frying pan, stir and fry for a further 5-6 minutes.
Add the water and frozen peas and return to the boil.
Allow the curry to simmer away for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
