Tomato rice is a tangy and spice rice that suits for packing in the lunch ox. This will be the lunch for the school and college that amma and paati makes almost once in a week. They both make different version of tomato rice. Paati makes a thick paste that can be mixed with the rice and amma cooks the rice along with all the spices and tomato. This is my version.
