Tomato Rice

I love experimenting cooking different types of rice, so I have tried Tomato Rice. Mom used to cook this rice, she learnt to cook this rice from her brother who is a great cook. I have altered a little on this recipe by adding additional tomato chunks, where my mom only add tomato puree.

Now let us look at my recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cups of rice (soaked and drained)

1 tomato diced

2 cloves

2 cardamom

1 cinnamon stick

2 star anise

5 tbsp tomato puree

2 tbsp ghee

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

2 tbsp fried onion

1 cup water

A pinch of salt

In a cooker, pour ghee then add cloves, cardamom, cinnamon stick, star anise, ginger garlic paste and saute a while. Now add tomato and saute, add rice, tomato puree, salt and water and stir for a minute. Let the rice cooked until fluffy and garnish with fried onion.

Now our Tomato Rice is ready to be served.
