When I was in high school, I used to visit my bestfriend's place. Her mother was a really good cook. She used to make smoked minced beef. I used to love it. After reaching home, I do tell my mum to make minced beef just like aunty does.

Now that I cook myself, this dish is made occasionally on weekends and eaten with naan. 

Firstly, on medium heat saute onion and green chillis in oil. Add the whole spices: cardamom, cumin and cloves.
