To Serve
For the chilli, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a low heat. Add the onion and garlic and fry for 10 minutes until soft, then add the red chilli, red pepper, ground cumin and chilli powder and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Turn the heat up to high, add the lamb and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the lamb is browned.
Add the chopped tomatoes and tabasco sauce and bring to the boil. Cover tightly, reduce heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Stir in the kidney beans and mix well. Cook gently, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes. Season to taste and stir in the coriander.
Meanwhile, for the rice, add the rice and chilli flakes to a large pan of boiling water and cook following the instruction on the pack.
To serve, spoon the rice and chunky chilli on to warmed serving plates. Top with a spoonful of soured cream, if desired, and serve immediately.
