Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and sauté until light golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Stir in black cardamom, peppercorns, and cloves, and allow them to bloom for 1-2 minutes. Incorporate sliced tomatoes, minced ginger, and garlic. Add salt, red chili powder, turmeric, coriander, and cumin, stirring well.
  3. Simmer the mixture until tomatoes break down and oil separates, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Add 500 grams of ground beef, break it up, and mix thoroughly. Cook for 5-7 minutes until no pink remains. Add 1 cup of water, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Uncover and let the curry cook for an additional 5 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
  6. Add 2 cubed potatoes and another half cup of water. Stir and cover to simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  7. Check the consistency, adjust if needed with more water, and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garam masala.
  8. Garnish with coriander leaves, sliced ginger, and green chilies. Serve warm with roti or rice.
