Tomato Rice is a well-known South Indian dish. I got this recipe from my cousin who is a great cook. The key ingredients for this dish are tomatoes and rice. It is certainly a tasty dish.
It is tasty and very healthy dish with a tangy taste of tomatoes. It can also be done with the leftover rice but I suggest to make it with fresh rice. It is a perfect dish for lunch box.
