TOMATO RICE



There are so many ways to prepare this  Tomato Rice but this turns out great. I'm using long grain rice but you can also use basmati rice. If you're using basmati rice, do soak the grain for 20 minutes then drain. Basmati rice produces perfect rice all the time, it has special aroma.

It is highly recommended to use rice cooker for cooking this dish in order to avoid sticking to the bottom if not just use ordinary pot but once the water evaporates you must use the lowest flame to continue cooking the rice until it is done.



TOMATO RICE
Serves 4-6 persons

4  cup   long grain rice
3 Onion chopped
8 tomato chopped
4 green chili chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 T ginger minced
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2  cup  coriander leaves chopped
4  tablespoon   oil
1 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp chana dhal
Curry leaves
salt to taste
Water to cook rice

DIRECTIONS

* Heat the oil, splutter the mustard seeds, add chana dal and curry leaves.

* Add in onion, chili, ginger and garlic, fry until onion turns light brown.

* Add tomato, salt and turmeric powder, cook until tomato turns soft.

* Transfer this mixture into the rice cooker.

* Add rice and required amount of water, cover and let the rice cook.

* Once rice is cooked, sprinkle with coriander leaves.

* Serve hot with your favorite gravy.
