Tomato Rice (ಟೊಮೇಟೊ ರೈಸ್)
A fragrant one-pot rice dish made with whole spices and fresh tomatoes — a weekend favorite that's quick, comforting, and pairs perfectly with raita or curd.
Ingredients
- Ripe tomatoes – 2
- Onion – 1
- Finely chopped coriander – 3 tablespoons
- Elachi (cardamom) – 2
- Cinnamon – 2 pieces
- Cloves – 4
- Cumin seeds – ½ tablespoon
- Green chillies – 2
- Ginger-garlic paste – ½ tablespoon
- Turmeric – a pinch
- Red chilli powder – ½ teaspoon
- Rice – 1½ cups
- Salt – to taste
- Lime juice
- Oil – 3 tablespoons
- Water – 2¾ cups (depending on the rice)
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes and keep aside. Thinly slice the onion.
- Heat oil in a pan, add cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon pieces. Fry for 1 minute, then add cumin seeds, turmeric, and ginger-garlic paste, followed by green chillies.
- Sauté for 1–2 minutes, then add the tomato pieces, sliced onion, and chilli powder. Cook for a few minutes until the tomato pieces turn smooth — a little salt helps them cook faster.
- Add the rice (washed clean) and the required quantity of water — about 2¾ cups, depending on the type of rice.
- Add salt, lime juice, and chopped coriander leaves, and adjust to taste.
- Cook the mixture in a pressure cooker or rice cooker. Add roasted cashew pieces once done, if you like.
- Serve warm with raita or curd.
Tips
- Be careful with the chilli powder — even a little extra can make the dish quite spicy.
