Add red hot pepper, cayenne pepper, or paprika to the mixture.

Cover and stir the mixture for about 5 minutes.

Add spices including rosemary and nutmeg, and adjust seasoning with stock cube or salt.

Add 2 cups of washed jasmine rice to the mixture and stir to coat evenly.

Add water just above the rice, cover, and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes.

Cover the rice with saran wrap and let it cook for 20 minutes, adding more water if necessary.

Prepare beef by trimming and cutting into thin slices, then season with stock cube and suya spice powder.

Soak kebab sticks in water for about 3 hours before using.

Thread beef onto kebab sticks and place on a grill or in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, turning and brushing with oil halfway through.
