My Favorite Recipe-Tomato Rice

Tomatoes are one of my favorite red cherries. However whenever i see the vegetable, I feel bad as well seeing it being wasted during the Tomatina festival in Spain. Rather would use it in making Tomato Rice and feed it to a few hundred poor and needy. Chinni decided to make Tomato Rice and slurpppp!!! Was it delicious. Sure it was Yummm!!!.

Step 1: Use only Basmati Rice in the preperation of Basmati Rice. Cook Basmati Rice in a Pressure Cooker.

Step 2: Cut Tomatoes and Onions into uniform sizes. They need to be ground seperately in a Mixer Grinder.

Step 3: Fry Cashew Nuts in Cooking Oil

Step 4: Grind Onion, Ginger,Dhaniya,Jeera and Garlic. Those who do not like the taste of Garlic may want to avoid it.  Add it to the Frying pan containing the Cashew Nuts

Step 5: Add Turmeric Powder,Red Chilly Powder and a little bit of Sugar to the contents. Stir Well.

Step 6: Grind Tomatoes in a Blender till you get a puree like consistency.

Step 7: Add the same to the contents in the frying pan, stir well and add salt to taste. Stir well

Step 8: Allow to cook on low flame for 15 minutes till the mixture is well cooked. Stirring at regular intervals is a must. Add a little bit of butter to the mixture.

Step 8: Add the cooked Basmati rice to the contents and stir till the contents are uniformly mixed. Yumm!!! Tomato Rice is ready to move. Serve Piping Hot.
