1 large onion, finely diced
500g / 1 lb beef mince (ground beef)
3/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper or chili powder (pure, not US chili powder spice mix; omit for less spice)
1 1/4 tsp garam masala
1 1/4 tsp cumin powder
1 1/4 tsp coriander powder

For Garnish:

Heat the Oil:
In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable or canola oil over medium heat.
Sauté Aromatics:
Add the minced ginger, garlic, and diced onion to the pan. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Cook the Beef:
Add the beef mince to the pan, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through.
