Method
Heat a large pot over medium heat (no oil needed).
Add the chopped onion, sliced green chili, and diced tomato; sauté until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for another minute.
Add the beef pieces, season with salt, garam masala, black pepper, and turmeric; cook until the beef is lightly browned.
Pour in the rice and stir to coat the grains with the spices and beef juices.
Add enough water to cover the rice and beef (about 300 ml), bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15–20 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
