My quick and simple chili recipe.

Finely chopped onions gently fried, add garlic. Brown the mince then add ground cumin, ground coriander and chili powder. Add a can of chopped tomatoes, some tomato puree and season to taste. Add the kidney beans a bit later depending on how long you want to cook - can be ready in 30-40 mins but better to leave longer.

Serve with boiled basmati rice and / or pitta bread garnished with coriander leaves.

Beef mince, onion, chilli, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, oregano and a dash of lime juice, it also tastes better if you cook it the day before you want it.

Real chilli is made with lamb and it's quite dry, I prefer the the bastardised versions.
