Tomato Rice using Tomato Basil stock.
Tomato rice is the real form of comfort food in Southern India. It is easy to cook, uses minimum condiments from your kitchen and can be made in quick time. It’s like you got tomatoes and rice in the pantry, great !!! you can make tomatoes rice…!!!
I was exposed to it during my college days, and it struck a chord with me. Since then, I am a fan of this plain and simple dish. We make it often when we do not want to cook but still end up cooking reluctantly so it’s our “Reluctantly to go” dish .
Today I was about to make it for lunch when I decided to experiment a bit and use the vegan stock from Millies to cook my rice with. I chose the flavor that would be apt for it - Tomato Basil and started with my instant pot. Apparently, they had sent me these goodies and I wanted to cook something Indian with them too. I was surprised with the vibrant flavors it generated and hence I am sharing this recipe here, The tomato basil stock just elevated the taste of the rice to a new level. I could still feel the essence of the real dish in my plate but with a hint of basil in it which brought a new wow factor in it. Sharing this very quick and easy recipe with you all , let me know in the comments below how you like it-
