Tomato Rice is delicious one pot meal recipe and popular rice dish in South India. This recipe is tasty, healthy and perfect to pack in lunch box or for dinner. Tomato Rice is made with lots of tomatoes, herbs and spices. It can be served along without any sides as it is very tasty and flavorful on its own. However salad, raita or papad can be served along.
