Crush the cardamon seeds with a pestle and mortar / rolling pin and add all the spices to the pan. Mix thoroughly.
Cut the pheasant into small pieces and add to the pan, stir for around 3 minutes until the pheasant has browned.
Add 250ml of chicken stock to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
