This is my tried and trusted spicy rice. Its quick and simple to make. It might be something genetic from my Indian heritage, I really hate wasting food so I usually make this when I have left over rice, I am hungry and confused and want something substantial that packs a punch. You can add more vegetables such as peas, sweetcorn and mushrooms. Give it a go make it your own and send me snaps of how yours turns out.
