Step 4

Add spices, tomato sauce/paste, stock cube, 2/3 cup water, and sugar. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Meanwhile, cook enough rice for 4 serves. Prepare fresh chilli, spring onions, pick coriander leaves from stem, quarter the fresh lime. Slice avocado.

Step 6

Spoon rice into bowls.

When the chilli has thickened, taste and add more salt & pepper if needed. Spoon into bowls next to rice.
