Here is the easy recipe to make tomato pulao. Instead of using rice, I used quinoa to make it more healthy.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves : 1 person
INGREDIENTS:
Quinoa - 1/3 cup
Water -1.25 cup
Tomato - 1
Onion - 1/2 cup chopped
Ginger - 1 inch sized chopped
Garlic -3 to 4 pods
Green chilli - 1 no
Coriander leaves - as required
Dry mint leaves - as required
Turmeric powder- 1/2 teaspoon
Red chilli powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Pepper powder- 1/2 teaspoon
Salt - as required
MASALA:
Cinnamon - 1/2 inch sized
Star anise - a small piece
Cloves -2 no.s
Cardamom - 1
Bay leaf - 1
Cumin seeds- 1/2 teaspoon
METHOD:
1. Chop tomato, onion, ginger, garlic and green chilli. Prepare all ingredients and set ready.
2. Grind or mash ginger, garlic and green chilli using mortar and pestle or in a mixer and set aside. In a nonstick pan, take 1/3 cup of quinoa ( no need to wash quinoa ) and dry roast for a minute , until it is hot to touch and you get a nice aroma. Do not over roast , as it would get burnt.
3. Now add 1.25 cups of water and allow it to boil.
4. Now reduce the flame to sim and cover the pan with lid. It takes about 20 minutes to cook. Once it is cooked, turn off the flame. As you can see, quinoa fluffs up and increased in size.
5. Now in a pan, add some oil. Add the items mentioned in the "MASALA" section.
6. Now add onions and fry till they change color.
7. Now add the mashed ginger, garlic and green chilli paste.
8. Now add chopped coriander and mint leaves and fry for a minute.
9. Now add chopped tomato. Add required salt , turmeric, red chilli powder and pepper powder . Mix well and cook till tomato get soft .No need to add water as tomatoes itself will let out some water. If you feel the mix is very dry, you can sprinkle some water.
10. Now add cooked quinoa to the above paste and mix gently.
11. Serve with any favorite curry of your choice.
