Tomato Rice

Tangy hai, tasty hai aur recipe mein twist bhi hai!! Healthy and flavoured rice recipe prepared mainly with basmati rice and spiced tomato masala. It is an ideal one-pot meal or lunch box recipe which can also be served for breakfast and dinner. Generally, it is served without any side dish but tastes amazing when served with a choice of sour raita. This tangy rice dish is cooked just like a pulao and is best paired with yoghurt and chutney. Tossed in the goodness of tomatoes, spices and potatoes. Tomato Rice is a delicious Tamilnadu-style rice recipe made with fresh tomatoes and a few Indian spices in an instant pot, stovetop pressure cooker, or pot. South Indian cuisine deals with many flavoured rice recipes which are primarily prepared from leftover rice. The traditional pulao recipes are cooked from the scratch with rice, veggies and spices mixed and cooked together. But quick and instant rice recipes like tomato rice are prepared with cooked rice and prepared within minutes. This recipe for preparing tomato rice or any vegetable-flavoured rice is pretty simple. In this recipe, I have used vegetables mixed with other spices to prepare mushy tomato masala. Later it is simply mixed with pre-cooked rice and sautéed till it becomes dry and not sticky. Further, I have even added mint leaves which add up flavour to the rice, but it is completely optional. I even extend this recipe by preparing a thick paste of coriander, green chillies and pudina leaves and adding it to tomato masala. In addition, you can add other dry veggies like green peas, finely chopped potatoes, mushrooms and gobi to prepare vegetable-based tomato rice. Kids will love this tomato rice as it has a tangy and tasty flavour. The small pieces of potatoes and carrots adds a crunchy taste to the rice. This rice is healthy for kids to have as for breakfast or lunch also. So do try this recipe at home for your little ones!
