    Vegan and Gluten Free ,classic south Indian Style Tomato Rice or Tomato bath , A easy go to dish for a busy working day!!

    tomato rice

    Tomato rice is an awesome south Indian Lunch box recipe. It is pretty simple to prepare but tastes good. The primary ingredient used is the tomatoes. Use good quality fresh tomatoes while preparing thakalli sadham to enjoy its richness. This tastes good with just onion raita or any chips.

    I usually prepare Tomato Rice with a biryani flavour. It tastes really good with just chips and raita or even pickle. So i suggest you use basmati rice in this method.However normal cooking rice can also be used and yes seeraga samba rice can also be used.

    I have used precooked rice in this recipe. And i have explained in detailed below how to cook or prepare tomato rice in a single pot. Just dump all the ingredient and beautiful Tomato bath is ready.

    How to prepare Tomato bath:

    Tomato rice is usually prepared in numerous ways. It can be prepared as a one pot method. ie cooking the rice along with the tomato masala. Or we can prepare by using pre cooked rice in a tomato masala.

    In this recipe , i have use precooked rice to the tomato masala for Tomato Rice , but it can very well be converted to a one pot method.

    How to prepare Tomato Rice in One pot Method:

    For the recipe below till you prepare the tomato masala. You a pressure cooker.soak the basmati Rice for 30 mins and set aside.

    Next add the soaked rice and fry for a min. Add required Water. It will be 1.25 cups of Water for every 1 cup of Rice. This is the ratio. Wait till the water comes to a boil and then close the cooker.When the presure coomes vigorously put the whistle and cook for 3 minutes in a high flame and switch off.

    Wait till the pressure releases completely and then open the cooker. Carefully fluff the rice and garnish with the coriander leaves and serve.

    How to prepare Tomato Rice in Open Pot :

    For cooking in open pot the rice and Water ratio is , for every 1 cup of Rice add 2 cups of Water.
