Hi Friends
Today I am coming with single lunch box special for busy moms and for bachelors i.e. mild spicy and tangy tomato rice. Generally we prepare many varieties of rice items. This is one which tastes good, simple and easy to make recipe.
OK Let us go to prepare this dish.
Ingredients
- Fresh tomatoes (select pulpy ones) 1/4 kg
- Onion 1 big (chopped)
- Green chillies 4 chopped
- Ginger piece 1 " finely chopped
- Coriander powder 1/4 tbsp
- Turmeric powder
- Cinnamon 2 small pieces
- Cloves 2 to 3
- Elaichi 2
- Bay leaves
- Salt to taste
- Oil
- Peel onions and chop them and keep aside.
- Wash tomatoes and green chillies and chop them.
- Cook the rice with 1: 2 (rice and water)
- Spread the cooked rice in a wide plate and sprinkle 2 to 3 drops of oil. So that cooked rice does not stick each other.
- Fluff the rice with folk.
- Heat oil in a kadai on medium heat.
- Add cinnmon, cloves, elaichi and bay leaf and then turmeric powder and cook for half minute.
- Add chopped onions and saute until translucent. Then add chopped ginger and green chillies and cook for half minute.
- Finally add chopped tomatoes and cook till moisture from tomatoes evaporates.By that time oil stands to leave.
- Then add required salt and coriander powder and mix well and keep aside and let it sit.
- The consistency should be in gravy type.
- Add cooked required tomato gravy into rice and mix gently until it is evenly mixed.
- Transfer it into a bowl and garnish with coriander leaves.
- Serve this with curd chutney and chips/vadiyalu.
- Don't add too many spices. That will dominate the flavor of tomatoes.
- You can optionally add roasted peanuts or roasted cashew nuts into tomato rice.
Tomatoes are good source of dietary fiber, vitamins A and C and low in sodium and saturated fat.
