There are various ways to cook Tomato Rice either using fresh/canned tomatoes or tomato puree. Even I have shared another recipe that were differ slightly from one another due to the ingredients/spices used. If you want to check the recipe click here. .
Easy Tomato Rice is one of my favorite weekend meal. It uses tomato puree instead of fresh tomatoes. Please take note. different brands of tomato puree produce extra sour to this dish. So use your own judgement as to how tangy you want the rice to be. Am using a concentrated tomato puree of Italian origin but for other brand, highly recommended to add more than 2 tablespoon.
A blend of tomato puree, onion, garlic and spices are used to create a bed of delicious fluffy rice. Easy Tomato Rice goes well with spicy chicken, lamb or vegetable gravy if you're a vegetarian.
EASY TOMATO RICE
Serves : 2-3
2 cups long grain rice uncooked
2 green chili slit
1 big onion chopped
3 tablespoon oil/butter
2 tablespoon tomato puree
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 in ginger paste
2 cloves garlic paste
4 cups water
METHOD
Rinse the rice in cold running water until the water is clear, drain.
Heat oil/butter in a deep pot, add in onion and salt, fry until onion turns soft.
Now add the tomato puree, chili powder, turmeric, ginger, garlic and green chili, cook with low flame until fragrant.
Pour 4 cups of water onto the pot, add the rice. Add more salt if needed, stir in between. Transfer this onto rice cooker if using. If cooking using stove top. cook until the water has been absorbed by the rice.
Put the lid on, lower the flame and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
Uncover and remove from heat. Fluff rice with a fork. Serve hot.

My hubby makes a lot of Spanish rice and while the base of using tomatoes is similar to this, he doesn't add all the spices into it. Will have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned.
Tasty, rich and delicious rice - could not ask for more :D
