Rinse the red rice and place in a saucepan with 700 ml water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook on low for 30–40 minutes, or according to the package, until tender. Rest for 10 minutes.

Split the chillies lengthwise and remove some seeds for a milder dish. Slice the onion and tomato and mince the garlic.

Put the chillies, onion, tomato, garlic, butter, salt and remaining 250 ml water in a saucepan. Cover and simmer for 12–15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
