Tomato Rice
We bought a box of tomatoes for a very cheap price ($8.00 AUD) So was looking online for some good tomato dishes! Though I saw quite a few of Tomato rice recipes, I quite dint like any of them so thought I would experiment and make some Tomato rice on my own!
Ingredients:
Onions - 2
Tomatoes - 6
Rice (Soak for 30 minutes) - 2.5 cups
Water - 5 cups
Coriander leaves - half bunch
Mint leaves
Conriander powder - 1 tea spoon
Mustard seeds, cumin seeds, anister seeds (2 of them) , cloves (2 of them) - a little bit for seasoning
Green chillies - 4 chillis (or as per taste)
Ginger and Garlic paste (1 spoon)
Oil
Salt - as per taste
Procedure:
Heat the oil, add mustard, cumin seeds, anister seeds and cloves! When the mustard splutters, add giner garlic paste and stir well to fry it!
Now add chopped green chillies andfry for 2 minutes! Then add a pinch of turmeric! Now add chopped onions and fry them till they turn golden brown!
Add tomatoes and fry them for 5 min till tomatoes become soft! Now add rice and after stirring for a couple of minutes, add water, salt and coriander powder to it!
Cover the dish and cook for 15-20 minutes (till the rice if cooked)
I like it a bit softer so I add another cup of water at the end and mix it well to make soft and smooth!
Turn off the heat and add chopped mint leaves and coriander leaves to garnish it!
And the spicy tomato rice is ready! You can skip off adding corainder powder if you dont like the spicy touch!
