1/2 t cinnamon, ground
1 1/2 t chilli powder
3 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 T ginger, grated

Instructions:
Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium-high heat. Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and onion. Cook for 2 minutes, until the onion begins to soften.
Add the beef and fry for a further 3 minutes, until the beef is browned. Next add the ginger, bay leaves and garlic and cook for a minute.
