Tangy,spicy,flavourful,red coloured rice!When there is only tomatoes,onions,ginger an garlic in your pantry the very right choice!But I suggest you this rice with any grilled or roasted chicken!It will be perfect.

Its packed with full of flavours and spices.To prepare this first make a tomato gravy and then cook it along with rice!I swear it will be loved by all.Its my hubby’s favourite.We actually no need any side dish for this.Only achar an raitas are enough.
