• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons garam masala

Instructions:

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, or until translucent.
3. Add the coriander, garam masala, cumin, salt, turmeric, ginger, and cayenne pepper and stir well. Cook for 1 minute.
4. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up and stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
5. Add the garlic and jalapeño pepper and cook for 1 minute.
6. Add the diced tomatoes, potatoes, and their juices to the pot and stir well.
7. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Safety guidelines:

• Be careful not to overcrowd the pot when cooking the ground beef. If necessary, cook the beef in batches to ensure that it browns evenly.
• Wash the jalapeño pepper thoroughly before using it. Be careful not to touch your eyes after handling the pepper.
• Be careful not to overcook the potatoes, or they will become mushy.
