Gently heat the oil in a heavy based ban and cook the onions until softened. Add the garlic, chillies, cayenne, and paprika, then heat until fragrant. Stir in the rice until coated in the spices. Tip in the tomatoes and stock, stir well, cover with a tight fitting lid and reduce the heat to very low.
