#comfortfoodrecipes - Tomato rice is a great comfort food for me as it is a quick fix meal that can be dished out in no time. I enjoy it as a snack / breakfast / lunch along with some pickles and papad. You can use some sambar powder to enhance the flavour. Few roasted peanuts cashew nuts too can be added for some slight crunch.
