TOMATO RICE RECIPE

    Tomato Rice is one of the simplest variety rice recipe which i make once a week for lunch box. My mom makes this when we were in college and me and my friends will feast on this along with Simple Potato Curry.
As i am held up with some personal work, couldn’t visit any blogs for the past 5 days and i am missing many wonderful posts.

• Cook the rice and spread it in a plate to make it cool.
• Do not over cook the rice or mash it.
