Classic Tomato Rice
Today we’re dipping into my favorite South Indian flavored rice – Classic Tomato Rice also known as Thakkali Pongal. Much like my Classic Lemon Rice, this is a simple recipe that packs a punch of flavor to cooked white rice. This is my personal favorite of the Indian-flavored kinds of rice. It easily comes together with tomatoes, onion, and some staple Indian spices. Classic Tomato Rice has a more robust flavor when compared to my classic lemon rice and, therefore, can be easily paired with a greater variety of sides. This recipe is also great in the summer time when you can use up all your fresh tomatoes for a quick batch!
