    400 g  Basmati rice
    500 g  Natural yoghurt
    230 g  Guacamole
      1    Lime
 
  Peel and finely chop the onions, garlic, carrots and celery u donAt
  worry about the technique, just chop away until fine. Halve the red
  peppers, remove the stalks and seeds and roughly chop. Place your
  largest casserole-type pan on a medium high heat. Add 2 lugs of olive
  oil and all your chopped vegetables. Add the chilli powder, cumin and
  cinnamon with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir every 30 sec for
  around 7 min until softened and lightly coloured.
  
  Add the drained chickpeas, drained kidney beans and the tinned
  tomatoes. Add the minced beef, breaking any larger chunks up with a
  wooden spoon. Fill one of the empty tomato tins with water and pour
  this into the pan. Pick the coriander leaves and place them in the
  fridge. Finely chop the washed stalks and stir in. Add the balsamic
  vinegar and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to the
  boil and turn the heat down to a simmer with a lid slightly askew for
  about an hour, stirring every now and again to stop it catching.
  
  This is fantastic served with fluffy rice. Just divide the rice and
  chilli into big bowls or serve in the middle of the table and let
  everyone help themselves. If you donAt fancy rice itAs equally good
  with a nice hunk of fresh crusty bread, over a jacket potato or with
  couscous. Put a small bowl of natural yoghurt, some guacamole and a
  few wedges of lime on the table, and sprinkle the chilli with the
  coriander leaves. I love to add a nice green salad to round it off.
