Notes

1I served mine with a jar of shop bought tikka cooking sauce in a jar slow cooked with chicken for 3 hrs. But the rice can be put in tacos or wraps, burritos, salads, chilli con carne and jacket potato's. Would go lovely with a drizzle of sour cream on top and some salsa too with a plate of tortillas.

2This is my spin on a Mexican rice dish. which i adapted for a slow cooker, hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

3If you have small children i would leave out the chilli flakes.
