TOMATO BATH
I am trying this for the first time from a cook book I am having….I was searching for some quick and simple rice variety today late morning for my kid and this recipe sounded good for me,so I decided to make this and I made it in my way to suit our tastebuds.Simply love these variety rice….
Ingredients
| Rice ,I used Basmati | 1 cup |
| Tomatoes.;Big sized | 4 nos |
| Oil or Ghee | 2 tblsp |
| Onion | 2 nos |
| Curry leaves | 2 sprigs |
| Coriander leaves,chopped | 1 & 1/2 Tblsp |
| salt | As needed |
| Ginger garlic paste | 1 tsp |
To grind to smooth paste
| Coconut,grated | 1/4 cup |
| shallots/small onions | 8 nos |
| Cinnamon | 1 small piece(1/2 inch) |
| Elachi | 1 no. |
| Cloves | 1 or 2 |
| Green chillies | 4-6 nos |
To temper
| Oil | 2 tsp |
| Mustard | 1/ tsp |
| Urad dal/Ulutham paruppu | 1/2 tsp |
| Channa dal/Kadala paruppu | 1 tsp |
| Cashew nut (optional) | 4-5 nos |
Method:
- Pressure cook rice and cool down to make sure that the rice grains are separate.I cooked rice in 1: 1 & 1/4 ratio with water ,upto 3 whistles.
- Chop tomato into finely and cut onions length wise.
- Heat a heavy bottomed pan with oil and add the tempering items given in order.Then add the onions and fry till transparent and add the ginger garlic paste and fry till raw smell goes off.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and add enough salt that is required for the rice and cook in slow flame,till it becomes mushy. (6-8 min)
- Grind the ingredients under the To Grind table and add it to the cooking tomatoes and mix well(add oil or ghee now). Cook in low flame till you get a nice aroma.
- Mix this to the cooked cooled rice carefully and add the chopped coriander leaves and serve with raita or salad of your choice or any vegetable accompaniment.

I hav eneve rhad rice like this, looks so so yummy. I would love to give this a try.
Love the ground masala......tasty
Not a big fan of variety rice but tomato n coconut rice are a xception...Perfectly cooked rice, adding coconut paste is new to me...parthale sapidanum pola iruke
there are so many versions of tomato rice & I just love each one of it .. looks great
OOOOOOOooooh that is my very very fav one raji... the tomato rice which i posted already is one type. The next version which i wanted to post is this kind. But the difference is for making the paste, I just use the garlic, saunf, redchilli and coconut. Others are same. I love this ..becos grinding little coconut gives different flavor to the tomato rice. Seeing ur display plate its making me drool..hopefully I'll make tomato rice today. And asusual ur pictures are damn good dear.
Fantastic version.. Absolutely vibrant. :) I love the pics and its so tempting.
I cook the masala and the rice together. This looks different. I have the book too and would try this soon.
Love tomato rice with papads, this version looks very inviting and interesting..will try soon..
I have never tried adding coconut to tomato rice... but I love the idea :)
