Step 1

Add 1½ cup rice to a bowl and rinse it well a few times until the water runs clear. Pour fresh water and soak the rice for 30 mins. Then drain to a colander & set aside.

Step 2

Heat a pressure cooker or a pot with 2 tbsps ghee or oil.

Step 3

Add cashews and fry until golden. Remove to a plate & set aside.

Step 4

Saute 3 cloves, 1 inch cinnamon piece, ¾ tsp cumin, 3 green cardamoms and 1 small bay leaf.

Step 5

When they begin to crackle, add 1 finely chopped onion and 1 slit green chili.

Step 6

Saute until the onions turn golden. Next saute 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste until a nice aroma comes out for 30 seconds.

Step 7

Next add in 1 cup tomatoes, salt as needed and ¼ tsp turmeric.

Step 8

Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover & cook until the tomatoes break down & turn mushy.

Step 9

Add ½ to 1 tsp red chili powder and ¾ to 1 tsp garam masala powder.

Step 10

Mix and cook until the tomato masala turns completely soft and mushy.

Step 11

At this stage the masala leaves the sides of the pan. Pour water & stir well. Taste the water and add more salt if needed.

Step 12

Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the drained rice.

Step 13

Cook until the water has almost absorbed. When the rice is still soggy, lower the flame completely and cover with a lid until the tomato rice is cooked completely.

Step 14

Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves and squeeze in some lemon juice. Tomato rice is ready to serve hot or warm with a raita. Garnish with cashews.

Step 15

Stir and cover with the lid. Cook on a medium high heat. Allow to whistle once. When the pressure goes down, open the lid. Fluff up the tomato rice.

Step 16

Soak rice for 30 mins. Press SAUTE button & pour oil to the inner pot of the instant pot. Then fry cashews until golden and remove them. Stir in the whole spices and then add onions.

Step 17

Saute them until transparent. Add the ginger garlic paste & saute for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and salt. Saute them until the tomatoes break down and turn mushy.

Step 18

Add chilli powder, garam masala & turmeric. Saute for just 1 to 2 mins untilthe moisture from tomatoes almost dries up.

Step 19

Next pour 1¾ cups + 2 tbsp water. Press CANCEL button. Scrape off any bits of spices stuck at the bottom. This prevents from getting a burn notice.

Step 20

Stir & check the salt. Add more if needed. Then add the rice. Then secure the lid. Set the steam release handle/ value to sealing. Press PRESSURE COOK button (highpressure) for 5 mins.

Step 21

When the tomato rice is done, Instant pot beeps. Wait for 2 mins & release the pressure manually with the help of a spoon by moving the steam release handle to venting from sealing. If you like softer rice then let the pressure release naturally for 7 to 8 mins. Then release the rest manually.

Step 22

Sprinkle coriander leaves & fluff up the tomato rice with a fork. Garnish with cashews.
