  Alicha is a curry-like meal. 
  In dry pan over medium heat, stir fry onions for 2 mins.  Add the oil 
  and stir fry 1 minute longer.  Add the meat and brown 5 mins, stirring 
  frequently. 
   
  Add all of the spices and seasonings at one time and stir well.  Add 
  the water and bring to a boil.  Cover the pan and cook over moderate 
  heat for about 45 mins, or until the meat is tender.  Should the 
  curry dry out too quickly, add another 1/2c water.  At the end of the 
  45 mins, there should be very little sauce.
