Instructions

Gather all the ingredients. If you don't have boiled rice,, you may use raw rice as well. Soak the raw rice after cleaning for 20-30 min. Instead of a pan/ kadai use a pressure cooker to saute the onion and tomato. Once they are sauteed, add rice and add twice the water as that of rice (for one bowl of rice, two bowls of water). Cook for two full whistles and 2 min on simmer.
Take a heavy bottomed pan/ kadai. Add desi ghee to it.
Add whole spices and saute for less than a min on simmer.
Add onions and cook till they are translucent. You may cook on full flame if you are standing right in front.
Add all spices and make the fame simmer before you add spices or else they will be burnt.
Add tomatoes and add little salt here so that tomatoes cook better.
They take around 2 -3 min and for better results, covering with lid and checking on off helps.
Add boiled rice, more salt and lemon juice and mix well.
The delicious tomato rice are ready! Enjoy with curd!

Notes

Use a heavy bottomed wok or else the rice would stick to the bottom of the utensil. (Boiled rice are more starchy and sticky when tempered than the raw rice.
Make sure that you don't use very old boiled rice. Just a night before is fine (if refrigerated) as rice can have bacterial growth sooner than we know.
