Tomato Rice

I have written about one procedure for making tomato rice when I published the post on Pudina / Mint rice with raita and promised to post on other method of making tomato rice. So here it is.

This is the recipe I love to make every time I'm all alone and there's no one else to eat coz this is an easy one to make and I dont like to prepare the regular meal when I'm all alone. Here's how to make it.

Ingredients

• Tomatoes : 3-4
• Rice : 1 small cup would serve one person
• Onions : 1 large one cut into thin long pieces
• Green chillies : 2 ( makes it not too spicy )
• Curry leaves : quite a few
• Urad dal, Chana dal, Cumin seeds, Mustard seeds : half teaspoon each
• Asafoetida : about a pinch
• Garam masala : half teaspoon
• Oil : for seasoning ( depends on how you use regularly )
• Salt : to taste
• Turmeric : half teaspoon
• Red chilliy powder : half teaspoon ( optional but I would suggest adding it )
• Coriander : chopped, for garnishing.

Procedure

• Cook the rice and keep aside.
• Heat the oil in a pan and all the ingredients for seasoning i.e chana dal, urad dal, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, asafoetida in that order.
• After the dals turn golden brown, add chopped onions, green chillies and curry leaves.
• After the onions are cooked, add chopped tomatoes and let it cook soft.
• Now add salt, turmeric, red chilly powder, garam masala powder and let the whole mixture cook for 2 minutes.
• Now add rice and mix well. Add the chopped coriander before taking the tomato rice off the stove.

Till the next post enjoy the rice recipes
