Tomato Rice Recipe | Tomato Pulao

1 cup long-grain white rice

2 cups water

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 tomatoes, chopped

2 green chilies, slit lengthwise

1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon garam masala

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

Salt to taste

Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add thinly sliced onion and sauté until golden brown.

Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute.

Add chopped tomatoes and green chilies to the skillet. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and pulpy.

Add turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and mix until it is coated with the tomato mixture.

Pour in water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Fluff the rice with a fork and transfer it to a serving dish.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
