TOMATO RICE

on

Rice is a staple in this part of India and is eaten with sambar/curd etc. However plain steamed rice can be transformed into mouth watering wholesome dishes by mixing vegetables and spices/herbs. Tomato rice bath is one such dish and is also served in restaurants. Tomato bath posted here is my simplified version yet tastes good.
