Instant pot Tomato Rice | Tomato Pulao | Thakkali Sadam | Tomato Biryani
Instant Pot Tomato Rice is an easy one pot Rice dish which is quick, flavorful, spicy and super delicious. I made this spicy but you can adjust the spice to your taste.
Using just ripen red vine tomatoes gives the best taste, if using sour tomatoes then reduce the quantity as we don’t want the rice to be too sour.

This Instant Pot Tomato Rice makes a quick and great weekend lunch or dinner when there is no time to cook. If on time crunch, you can add canned tomatoes as well. Also you can puree the tomatoes instead of chopping them.
Since there are no visible veggies in the rice, picky kids also love this Instant pot Tomato Rice. I added Cashews to the tomato rice, if desired peanuts can also be added.
Serve the Hot Tomato Rice along with Raitha and chips( or Papad/fryums). The combination is so wonderful.!
OR Serve with the following curries
I used Basmati Rice in the recipe, but you can use any other variety of rice, just adjust the cooking time as needed.
