Tomato rice is a flavorful and aromatic dish made by cooking rice with a tomato-based sauce. It often includes ingredients like onions, garlic, and spices, which are sautéed before adding tomatoes. The mixture is then cooked with rice until the grains are tender and infused with the tangy-sweet flavors of the tomatoes. It’s a popular dish in many cuisines, particularly in Indian and Mediterranean cooking, and can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.

Sure, here’s a simple recipe for Tomato Rice:

Ingredients:
– 1 cup Basmati rice (washed and soaked for 30 minutes)
– 2 tablespoons cooking oil
– 1 onion (finely chopped)
– 2 tomatoes (chopped)
– 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
– 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
– 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
– 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon garam masala
– Salt to taste
– Fresh coriander leaves (chopped) for garnish

Instructions:
1. Heat oil in a pan or pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Once they start to splutter, add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
2. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
3. Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts to separate.
4. Add the soaked rice and sauté for a couple of minutes, ensuring the rice is well coated with the tomato mixture.
5. Add 2 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed (about 15-20 minutes).
6. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork. Sprinkle garam masala over the rice and mix well.
7. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
8. Tomato rice is ready to be served! You can enjoy it on its own or with yogurt, raita, or a side salad.
