Week Five:
Tomato rice recipe.
This is my favorite recipe. I remember my mom used to cook this when I attended school in India. This was my lunch with fried or boiled eggs as a side dish for this tomato rice. This is tomato sauce mixed with rice. I get a good flavor when mixed with other ingredients like onion and whole gram masala spices like bay leaf, cardamom, and cloves. The step-by-step recipe is posted with the YouTube link.
After I came to Canada I have not made this because my children always like Canadian foods with fewer spices and mostly use soya sauce or other sauces to mix with rice. When I tried this tomato rice recipe it was overall good. But after not cooking this for many years I felt that I had added more hot chilies and salt.
Then for the last step because I had already cooked and I did not want to waste it I added some sugar to the tomato recipe then it was not that spicy for me. I have added the pictures of my cooked tomato rice recipe. I love this food and I think I will make some more rice and mix the rice with the tomato sauce store it in the refrigerator and eat it whenever I want.
Pro tips for this recipe:
Rinse rice well a few times to get rid of the starch. Soak it well for at least 30 mins. Basmati rice can be used.
Ingredients:
2 cups basmati rice
Tomatoes 2 to 3
