If you have keenly observed my blog you know that the background of my blog is a wallpaper full of Tomatoes! And today's recipe is to do with tomatoes. Not a tomato lover, but yes they look great when they are bright red and fresh 🍅☺
Just one serving a day of tomato-based foods can have an incredibly beneficial effect on your health. Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, biotin, molybdenum and vitamin K. They are also a very good source of copper, potassium, manganese, dietary fiber, vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), vitamin B6, folate, niacin, vitamin E and phosphorus. So why stay away from tomatoes? Let's include them in our diet right now.

Similar to Lemon rice Tomato rice can be prepared with left over rice or freshly cooked one. Til ki Chutney will be a great accompaniment to this and so will be Kairi ki chutney or any flavored pickle.
