When I see tomatoes I always think of my own liner If life throws tomatoes then give back tomato rice or tomato pulao. This is comforting tomato rice recipe which goes well with any gravy based dish, salad, raita and papad.
We had ours with paneer masala and onion salad.
I have used whole garam masala (spices), tomato puree and some coconut milk for this recipe. Also have added grean peas and peanuts for the added flavor and nutritive value. Coconut milk gives a nice subtle flavor to this rice.
Tomato Rice is a quick and easy recipe. You could make them for quick meal, lunch box or when you have sudden guests. Just club with some fries like papad, fish fry etc and your meal is done. This could be also termed as a one pot meal which is so comforting during winter days. But being an Indian one pot meal sometimes is just not enough we always need some accompaniments like pickle, raita, gravy etc.
Let’s make step by step Tomato Rice Recipe:
1. Soak the rice in water for 30-40 mins.
2. Keep all the spices, veggies ready.
3. Take a pan or pressure cooker add oil. Once oil is hot add all the whole ground spices.
4. Saute until they are fragrant.
5. Add the chopped onion and saute until they change color.

14. Add the soaked rice stir well.
15. Lastly add coconut milk and add water accordingly.
