Season the ground beef mixture with a teaspoon each of paprika powder (sweet), paprika powder (spicy), cumin, turmeric & ground coriander, then add 200 grams basmati rice & the bell pepper pieces to the pan. Mix everything together until all ingredients and spices have spread evenly & sauté for about 1 minute.
Then add 1 can chopped tomatoes & pour in 800 milliliters vegetable stock, bring to a boil & then allow to simmer for about 20 minutes over low to medium heat until the rice is cooked & the liquid has been completely absorbed.
