    Tomato Pulao Recipe

    One pot meal is my favorite as it's quick to make but with delicious taste. I used to try different varieties of biriyani/Pulao once in a week. I love anything made with tomatoes for its tanginess. This tomato pulao is similar to any other pulao with tangy tase and of course with tomatoes as main ingredient. I usually add carrots and peas or any mixed veggies to make it a wholesome meal. This time I had only carrots in hand and went ahead with that. Let's see the recipe.

    Notes :
    1. Soak the rice as much as possible to make it soft. One hour soaking is must for this tomato pulao.
    2. This pulao is medium spicy with the above mentioned measurements. Increase or decrease the red chilli powder accordingly.
    3. One cup of water is enough for this pulao as tomatoes releases some amount of water while cooking. But be sure to cook in low flame.
