Notes
1. I recommend you buy beef with some fat. Extra-lean beef won’t give a maximum taste.
2. If you don’t like more spiciness reduce the number of green chilies and the amount of red chili powder according to your taste.
3. I instantly made ginger and garlic. If it is hard for you, use the bottled one.
4. I want to bite more meat, so I reduce the number of potatoes. You can add more potatoes.
