Method

Step 1

Spray a large, heavy-based, lidded, non-stick saucepan or flameproof casserole dish with a couple of pumps of cooking spray and put over a medium-low heat. Add the onion, celery and peppers. Cover and fry for 8-10 minutes until softened, stirring now and then (add a splash of water if the veg start to stick to the pan or dish).

Step 2

Add the garlic, paprika and cumin, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomatoes with 100ml water and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened and reduced.

Step 3

Stir in the mince and kidney beans, and simmer for a further 20 minutes until thick. Season with pepper.

Step 4

Serve the chilli in bowls topped with the yoghurt. Add a twist of black pepper and the coriander, and serve with the lime wedges.

Recipe tips

You can use a plain yoghurt of your choice. However, this will change the nutritional information and the texture of the dish.
