Tomato Rice

Ingredients:

3 (Very ripe) or 4 medium sized Tomatos     
1 Cup Basmati Rice                            
1 Small Onion chopped fine                              
1 Inch piece Ginger
1 Tsp Chillie Powder                           
1 Tsp Jeera Powder                            
1 Tsp Garam masala  powder 
1/2 Tsp Turmeric powder
2 Tbsp Oil           
Salt (as per taste)
Fresh Corriander( For garnishing)
Mustard Seeds (For Seasoning)

Method:

Cook the Basmati rice and let it cool .

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard. when it splutters add onion and fry until translucent.

Add ginger,tomatoes,salt,turmeric & keep stirring.When everything is mixed together, add the dry masala powders.Stir for another 3-4 mins.Mash the tomatoes while stirring.When the tomatoes are cooked add the rice & combine.

Garnish with fresh corriander and serve hot.

My Tip : To prepare fluffy basmati rice , boil three cups water , add in the one cup rice and cook openly for 8 minutes in high flame.Check after 6 mins or so and if cooked strain immediately.Lay the rice in a flat dish for the steam to escape so that it wont overcook the rice .

You can also add mint leaves towards the end along with corriander leaves for extra flavour.
