Tomato Rice
Posted On 30-Dec-2007 at 6:44 PM by Seena
This is the way my mother cooks tomato rice.I prefer eating this as a breakfast dish or evening snack with tea. This was my usual lunch during school days. You can use any oil instead of ghee for preparing this.
Ingredients and Method
Basmati rice 2 cups
Cook rice with little salt.Drain and keep aside.
Chop 4 medium size tomatoes, 2 green chillies and 2 onions.
Heat 2 table spoons of ghee in a pan.
Put 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds.
Let it splutter.
Then saute onion in this.
Add 2 teaspoons garlic and ginger paste with 2 pinches of fennel seeds powder.
Stir for few seconds, add chopped tomatoes and 1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves into this.
Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 2 teaspoons (or according to taste) red chilly powder and salt into this.
Stir well.
Add 1/4 cup water for cooking tomatoes.
When tomatoes are cooked well, mix cooked rice with this. Mix well.
If you like , sprinkle little garam masala over this.
this looks delicious! I love rice dishes. I have enjoyed looking at your blog, its lovely!
What a co-incidence, I am about to post the same recipe!

Hi Seena,
Im back!!... though the tomato rice came out well...(the rice got little mushy)i didn get good marks from him.. but i keep my hope alive to be a good cook.. ;-)..
May be that.. he likes typical kerala foods and this one resembles a kannada food!!! but you know i like kannada foods:(coz i grew up there.And i used to prepare this in my own style..{I need to thank you that i got into Ramya's mane adige , where i will get loots of kannada recipe!!}
I have many doubts.. shall i ask u few here?
*Can i prepare biryani without curds?
*how to know the fish is cooked when i fry them?
*Do you have any other recipe for chakka kuru.. something like thoran ?
Yesterday Jeeva, left my mouth drooling , as she prepared ur chikcen fry and tells it came out well.. hmm..
Loads of thanks..!!
Nimi,
so sad to hear dear, don't worry u can do it next time.. :)
For biryani,
use coconut plus lime juice instead of curd,
For frying fish,
you can hear noise of bursting out while preparing fish fry, so it is the time to finish frying.. karichu kalayalle.. :)
For chakkakkuru,
have another recipes, will post later insha Allah..
if possible send a mail , ok,.?
