Add spices; fry for 1 min.
Stir in beef and cook for a few mins.
Add tomato purée, stock and cinnamon.
Give it a stir, bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 mins until very little liquid is left.
Add beans 5 mins before the end of cooking.
Check seasoning and cool.
step 2 Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
Using a 7cm pastry cutter, stamp out 12 circles from the pastry.

Remove from oven and cool on a wire tray.
Repeat with remaining pastry.

Drain, mash with soured cream and seasoning, then stir through chives.
Spoon 1-2 tsp of chilli mix into the pastry cases and top with a tsp of mash.
