Delish lunch box with tomato rice telangana style : Tomato rice recipe is a delicious rice dish which is made with tomatoes, mixed spices, onions, and rice. is a rice recipe like pulao, it has almost same method as pulao, tempering with spices and tomatoes, and cooking with rice.
I have made this tomato rice telangana style recipe with short grain rice, instead of basmati rice. and here I'm using regular pot. (vessel), not using pressure cooker. it would be fine for this dish. using pressure cooker or vessel or rice cooker would be fine for this recipe.
Using required amount of water is most important for this recipe, otherwise rice will become too soft. here I have added one & half cup water for one cup rice.
because the rice already soaked about 30 minutes in water. so the quantity of water which I have taken is enough.
This Tomato rice recipe can be serve for breakfast & for lunch box. although u can serve with raita.
