A savory, salty, nutty and tangy plate of tomato rice is true comfort food. And it is so easy to make! This south Indian style tomato rice needs just a few ingredients and it comes together in about 15 minutes in one pot with cooked basmati rice. Brown bag it, add it to a veggie bowl, make it a side, or serve on its own with poppadum or raita for a delicious dinner.

If you learn how to make delicious rice based dishes like lemon rice, turmeric rice, coconut rice, eggplant rice (vangi bath) and chickpea rice, you will always be just minutes away from an easy, filling and nutritious dinner. This easy tomato rice (thakkali sadam in Tamil) is such a dish and it's probably the rice recipe I make most often.
Black mustard seeds, curry leaves, cashews and sambar powder (or use curry powder) add incredible, savory flavor to the rice, along with the star ingredient: ripe, red, juicy tomatoes. Cilantro, sprinkled over the rice at the end of cooking, adds a pop of fresh flavor. All weeknight meals should be this easy and this delicious!
