    Tomato rice is a spicy and Tangy variety rice which is ideal for Lunch box or a Travel recipe. This recipe comes up handy on a busy weekday to prepare and pack quickly for lunch. I have already posted Tomato Briyani recipe. There are many variations in tomato rice. In my version I have seasoned using simple masala teamed them with peanuts.

    Tips:

    • Instead of chopping tomatoes it can also be pureed and cooked until the oil seperates in the side of the cooking pan.
    • The quantity of peanuts can be increased or decreased as per your taste.

    Serving Suggestion:

    Tomato Rice goes well with Onion Raitha. It pairs well with Papad or chips. My personal favorite is Tomato rice with roasted coconut chutney and boiled egg/Egg Burji.
