Chennai style tomato rice tastes more like a biriyani, and it is easy to make in 30 minutes. If you are craving for a biriyani, but running out of time, try making this tomato rice.
Sunday morning, I started making chicken biriyani, because it’s Sunday I got up late in the morning. Just relaxed with a cup of coffee and chatting with friends and relatives for some time and started making lunch by 11.30 am.
My family members are hungry by the time I started cooking, I don’t want to make them wait for longer time and at the same time, I don’t want to make them disappointed.
So I ended up in making this tomato rice tastes more like a biriyani and served simply with boiled egg and yogurt raita. We all enjoyed Sunday’s lunch, followed by a movie.
Apart from my story coming to this recipe, add water according to the quality of the rice.
I used Royal basmati rice from Costco, so added 2 cups of water and a cup of thick coconut milk. I just cooked it, using a large deep pan on stove top. You can also cook it in the pressure cooker or rice cooker.

I am the manager of JustCBD brand (justcbdstore.com) and am looking to expand my wholesale side of business. I really hope that anybody at targetdomain can help me . I considered that the most ideal way to accomplish this would be to talk to vape stores and cbd retail stores. I was hoping if anybody could recommend a reputable website where I can get CBD Shops B2B Mailing List I am currently examining creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Unsure which one would be the most ideal solution and would appreciate any advice on this. Or would it be simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Ideas?
