Heat oil in a pan, add chopped onions and garlic. Once cooked, add the mince and cook through.

Drain fat from the pan, then add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and oxo-bovril water.

Drain and rinse the tinned kidney beans, then add to the mince mixture. Once kidney beans are cooked, add chili sauce, salt and pepper and spices.

I have not given amounts for spices and chili sauce as I add small amounts gradually and build up the flavour by tasting after each addition. It's all about your individual taste.

Once you are happy with the taste, serve with rice, jacket potato etc.. and garnish with some coriander.
