At my place , if its tomato rice ... the one who will be very happy is my sister:D

Usually tomato rice recipe that i have seen on the internet is like a one pot meal but this is how my mom makes from ages .If you ask me , i like both the recipes ;) 

This is pretty simple recipe though we are making rice and tomato masala separately ,it wont take much time because the masala we use in this recipe is easy and also handy.The specialty of this rice is usage of Marathi moggu & that adds flavor to the rice.

This can be served for breakfast ,lunch or dinner

3. You can also add garlic cloves as per your taste
4. Ensure the rice is cold and then the masala is mixed similar like lemon rice
