Tomato rice is my all time favourite. This is my mom’s version..I have shared a video recipe in my blog of this recipe and it got so many views as well. But later i deleted those videos due to some issues. I got so many mails from my viewers asking me for that recipe, so i thought of sharing it in my step by step picture form and i also made a video too…

Start by cooking rice, i used ponni rice. Wash rice well and soak it for 30 mins. I took 4 cup of water for 2 cup of rice. I added it to pressure cooker, whistled it for 2 times, simmered the flame and cooked for 10 mins. Turn off the heat and let the steam go all by itself. Open the cooker, fluff the rice and let it cool down completely.
