• Add the onions, garlic, butter, cardamom seeds and the chilli flakes to a large microwaveable bowl and cook in the microwave on High for 30 secs. Tip in the rice and stock, along with the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and raisins. Stir well and then cover with cling film.
• Place a few sheets of kitchen paper on your microwave turning plate to absorb any spills, then place the bowl on top and cook on High for 2 mins. Remove and stir, then leave to stand for 1 min; it will continue to cook even after it has been removed, so allowing it to stand is really important.
