Tomato Rice, also known as Tomato rice/ Thakkali Sadam in Tamil is though originally from South India, has become part of every culture. And each region had its own version of recipes. I decided to prepare in my style using freshly grounded spices, Tomatoes, Onions and Ginger-Garlic and it really turned out to be delicious and flavorsome. Serve Tomato rice / Thakkali Sadam recipe along with Raita.
Tomato Biryani is an easy & hassle free one pot meal. Its a spicy and flavorful variety rice that tastes great with a simple raita and papad. This is a perfect lunch box menu too. For us this is a perfect lunch menu on weekends It is a variation of Mixed Veg Biryani. The major difference between normal veg biryani and Tomato Biryani are, in Tomato Biryani I use fennel seeds, green chili, Homemade Garam Masala, and tomato. Tomatoes are good in vitamin c and tomatoes can be taken in many forms such as tomato bath, tomato rice and there are many other tomato recipes that are good with rice such as tomato Pappu, tomato Rasam, tomato chicken curry, tomato pickle, tomato rice.
