Tomato Rice

One more new variety of rice that I learned after shifting to 'Namma Bengaluru' is Tomato Rice. Awesome taste of tomatoes and other spices used. Very quick to make and tastes awesome with curd.

Ingredients

Cooked Basmati Rice - 1 cup

Tomatoes - 2

Onion - 1

Garlic - 2-3 cloves

Ginger - 1 inch

Garam Masala/ Pulav Masala - 1 teaspoon

Salt to taste

For Tempering

Oil - 2 teaspoon

Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon

Asafetida - 1/8 teaspoon

Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon

Red dry chilli - 1/2

Curry leaves - 2-3

Grated coconut & Chopped coriander for garnishing

Procedure

Heat oil in kadai add tempering ingredients. Then add chopped garlic and ginger. Now add chopped onion and saute till it becomes slightly brown. Then add finely chopped tomatoes. Saute it for 1 minute. Add masala and salt and mix it. (I generally add a pinch of sugar for taste as wel.) When tomatoes cooked properly and get mashed add cooked rice and mix wel. Garnish it with coconut and coriander. Serve with fresh curd.
