Questions about this recipe
Can I make it hotter?
Yes. Add extra chilli powder or a fresh chopped chilli. Spices are counted in the figures, so the panel updates only slightly.
How should I reheat a frozen portion?
Defrost fully in the fridge, then reheat on the hob until steaming hot all the way through. Cook fresh rice on the day.
