While the sweetcorn cooks, rinse the rice under cold water and tip it into a small pan. Add 300ml boiling water and a pinch of salt. Cover, bring to the boil then turn the heat right down. Gently cook for 6-8 mins till all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Take the pan off the heat and let it sit, lid on, for 5 mins to finish cooking the rice.

Meanwhile, preheat your grill to its highest setting. Line a grill pan or baking tray with foil. Tip 2 tsp chilli spice blend onto a plate and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Zest in 1 lime and squeeze in the juice from half. Add a pinch of salt and mix. Roll the corn cobs in the mix then pop them on the foil-lined tray.
