Add the rice to a medium pot with plenty of water (approx. 4 times) and a pinch of salt
Bring to the boil on a high heat

Peel and chop the ginger coarsely
Crush the garlic with the side of a knife, peel it and chop coarsely
Remove the stem(s) of the chilli(es) and chop coarsely
Combine the ginger, chilli (careful, adjust to your preferred hotness), garlic and salt to taste in a pestle and mortar to form a spice paste (alternatively use a blender)
Add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) of yoghurt to a bowl and set aside (used in step 5)
Mix the remaining yoghurt, spice paste, turmeric, cumin, paprika and 1 tsp (2 tsp) of sugar to form a marinade
Add 1-2 tbsp of vegetable oil to an oven tray and spread well
