Instructions
  

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Chop onion, garlic and bell pepper. Drain the beans. Keep everything ready. This helps you cook smoothly without stopping.

Heat the Oil

  • Place a large pot on medium heat. Add olive oil and let it warm. This step helps cook the meat evenly.

Cook the Onion

  • Add chopped onion to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes. Stir often until soft and slightly golden.

Add Garlic and Pepper

  • Add garlic and bell pepper. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir gently so the flavors mix well.

Cook the Beef

  • Add minced beef to the pot. Break it into small pieces. Cook until browned. Stir often to avoid sticking.

Add Spices

  • Add cumin, paprika and chili powder. Stir well. The spices will release a warm aroma.

Add Tomatoes

  • Pour in chopped tomatoes. Stir to combine. This adds moisture and rich flavor to the dish.

Add Stock

  • Add beef stock slowly. Stir well. This helps create a smooth and thick sauce.

Simmer the Chilli

  • Reduce heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Stir sometimes. The sauce will thicken and flavors will develop.

Add Beans

  • Add kidney beans to the pot. Stir gently. Cook for another 10 minutes so everything blends well.

Season the Dish

  • Add salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. The flavor should be balanced and slightly spicy.

Serve and Garnish

  • Serve hot in bowls. Sprinkle fresh coriander on top. Enjoy with rice or bread.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices for better flavor
  • Add chili flakes for extra heat
  • Use turkey instead of beef for lighter option
  • Add corn for sweetness
  • Cook longer for deeper flavor
  • Use dark chocolate for rich taste twist
  • Add lime juice for freshness
