Hi my dear friends, today I am going to make a simple and very tasty tomato rice for kids and for elders. I will be making this in a pressure cooker to make things easy for the elders 😉

First, heat some oil in a pressure cooker and roast the whole spices, which are 6 cloves,, a big stick of cinnamon, three bay leaves, two pods of cardamom and one star anise until aromatic.. You can roast these spices in ghee or in any oil of your choice.

When the spices turn aromatic, add one thinly sliced onion and roast until it softens, followed by adding 1 ½ tablespoon of ginger garlic paste.. roast everything well until the raw smell of ginger ginger garlic paste goes away..

Next, lower the flame and add a little less than ¼ tablespoon of turmeric powder and sauté well until its raw smell goes away.

Once the turmeric is sautéed add a few green chilies as per your taste preference and then chop in two tomatoes.. next add in a small bunch of coriander leaves and mint leaves and then season it all with some salt to taste..

Give it all a good mix and then add our wash and drained 2 cups of rice and mix well again..

Once the rice is added, add 3 ½ cups of coconut milk and mix well.. We need 1 ¾ cup of coconut milk for one cup of rice.

Once you have added the coconut milk, add 2 tablespoons of curd that is not really sour and check it all for the seasoning.. After you have added the coconut milk, taste it to see if it needs more salt.. The coconut milk should be used slightly on the more saltier side..

After adding the curd, give it a good mix and let it come to boil before closing the lid of the pressure cooker.

After you have closed the lid, do not wait for the pressure cooker to let out a whistle.. Turn down the flame to the lowest when it is about to start to whistle, and leave it on the lowest film possible for around 10 minutes..

You may open the pressure cooker only after all the steam escapes.

With this, our tomato rice is now ready to be served..!!
