Analyzing cooking steps...
Toasting the dried chillies is a key step to unlock their deep, smoky flavor; don't skip it.
Browning the mince separately ensures it gets a good crust and doesn't just steam in the pot, which adds a lot of flavor.
The recipe calls for black eyed beans, but the video appears to use chickpeas. Feel free to use your preferred bean.
Letting the chili simmer for the full 45 minutes allows the flavors to meld and deepen significantly.
