Robust tomato flavor is key to tomato rice, a popular southern Indian dish typically prepared when there is an abundance of ripe, red tomatoes and leftover basmati rice.
It’s a versatile but intensely savory dish that can be eaten as a light meal with a dollop of yogurt or paired with seafood, poultry or even a simple fried egg.
We were inspired by Madhur Jaffrey’s tomato rice recipe in “Vegetarian India,” though we upped the intensity of the spices along with the tomato flavor. We use brown or black mustard seeds for their pungency, and sizzle them with an aromatic mixture of cumin, coriander, garlic and ginger until the seeds pop and the mixture is fragrant.
Once the rice is soaked and rinsed, stir the rice into the mustard seed mixture, stirring to ensure each grain is coated with the flavorful oil. Stir in a combination of water and tomato paste, bring to a simmer, then cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat, add quartered fresh tomatoes and let sit to finish cooking. Stir in the cilantro, fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
