Savory Tomato Rice with Meal Maker Delight

1.Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2.In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds, and sauté until they start to crackle.

3.Add the finely chopped onion to the pot and sauté until it turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

4.Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate, about 5 minutes.

5.Add the soaked meal maker to the pot, along with turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the meal maker to absorb the flavors.

6.Add the drained basmati rice to the pot and gently stir to combine with the tomato and meal maker mixture.

7.Pour in the vegetable broth or water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

8.Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

9.Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
