- In a large pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Add finely diced onion and sauté until light golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

- Introduce black cardamom pods, black peppercorns, and whole cloves into the pan. Cook spices for about 1 minute.

- Mix in chopped tomatoes, minced ginger, and garlic, along with salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Cover and steam for 5-7 minutes.

- Stir-fry the mixture for another 2 minutes then add ground beef; cook for 5 minutes until browned. Pour in water, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

- Remove the lid and increase the heat to evaporate excess moisture. Continue to fry for 5 more minutes.

- Add cubed potatoes and water. Stir gently, cover again, and cook on medium-low for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
