Tomato rice is aromatic tangy rice with little hint of spices and juicy red tomatoes .I make this rice once in a while.... .These where some quick whip up in my initial days of marriage.ya ..tusker likes it Smileys.




Ingredients

Basmathi rice or while rice-2 cups
Tomatoes-2 ripe (remove skin of tomatoes if u don't like biting dry flakes in the rice)
onion -1/2 of one whole(chopped )
jeera- 1/4 tsp
urad dal-1/2 tsp
red chili-1
green chili-1 cut into rounds
whole spices- cardamom -2 ,cloves-2to3 ,cinnamon -a small piece
red chili powder-1/2 tsp
turmeric powder-1/4 tsp 
coiander leaves- few
salt to taste
cashew nuts(optional Smileys. )

Method

1.Cook rice in enough water and drain off well.Let it cool while you make the masala.

2.Heat oil add the jeera ,whole red chilli,urad dal let the urad dal become golden brown then add whole spices, onion ,green chili ,chili powder,turmeric powder and saute.now add tomatoes pureed well and salt now cook until the tomatoes mash up well and the whole thing becomes a  kind of dry paste.Stir in between.

3.Now mix the paste with rice evenly ,put some coriander leaves.Give it a good toss .The whole thing should not become mashed and lumpy so adjust paste and rice accordingly.The rice should look coated yet separate from each other when u run the spoon in it.do u understand what I am saying???. Smileys.
4.Keep it aside for flavors to sink in and serve warm with pickle, yogurt, chutney or papadam.





Note
If you want use more tomatoes for the deep red color .
I have tried it with canned tomato paste also when in hurry and it comes out fine.It saves the time of waiting for the tomato to mash up and reduce.
I love it with potato chips Smileys.
