    one pot tomato rice

    Tomato thokku cooked in rice makes the best flavorful one-pot pressure cooker tomato rice. Perfect for a weekday meal. It is also a tasty main course for get together, dinner parties, etc.

    Can I grind tomato?

    I would recommend fine-chopping tomatoes. You can even chop them big. Avoid grinding them. That might turn tomatoes mushy.

    Can I reduce tomatoes?

    Adjust the tomatoes according to the sourness. I used vine tomatoes.

    Should I add curd?

    If the tomatoes you use are not sour, add little curd and saute on low flame

    CAN I SKIP kitchen king MASALA

    it gives a good flavor to the one-pot thakkali sadham. You can skip. Adjust the masala powders according to your taste 

    RICE FOR pressure cooker tomato pulao

    I have used basmati rice. You can use any variety of rice according to your choice. Adjust water accordingly.

    Always saute tomato thokku well

    add rice only after tomatoes turn mushy and the raw smell goes off. Else rice won't taste good

    SHOULD I SOAK RICE?

    I soaked the rice for 20 minutes. adjust the soaking time according to the rice variety you use.

    CAN I USE OIL FOR COOKING?

    yes, you can any variety of oil. 

    SIDE DISH FOR  tomato pilaf

    rice goes well with varuval, raita varieties, gutti vankaya kura, kathirikai chops, plain kurma,  mirchi salan, and raita

    CAN I COOK cooker tomato rice IN THE INSTANT POT?

    Yes, for the instant pot version avoid soaking the rice. Add 1: 1 + 1/2  liquid, cook for 5 minutes and do natural pressure release.
