Tomato rice recipe – Easy lunch box recipe with step-by-step pictures – Thakkali sadam recipe

Simple tomato rice recipe, I personally love this recipe. Amma packs this for the school lunch box and whenever we travel on buses and trains. All my friends in school/college are great fans of my mom’s thakkali sadam. This pairs well with a simple potato curry.

I have posted another version of village-style tomato rice. Also check out other easy lunch box recipes – Kathirikkai sadam, cabbage rice, carrot rice

Notes

Note:
1. Sambar powder can be replaced with red chili powder and coriander powder.
2. Ginger garlic paste can be added in the beginning before adding onions.
3. I used parboiled rice, and sona masoori rice or basmathi rice can be used.
