Fry off mince then add all the other ingredients apart from kidney beans the amount of spice will be dependant on who you are making it for , dad is a whooss who likes it mild, bless

Cumin is not hot but adds that authentic flavour I usually add at least a heaped teaspoon

Fresh chillis vary but the larger the more mild they usually are
