🍅 Spicy Tomato Rice 🍅

May 19, 2025 by Suki Leave a Comment

Tomato rice

Quick & Tasty Tomato Rice
A simple, flavorful South Indian-style tomato rice made with ripe tomatoes, spices, and cooked rice. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner—fragrant, tangy, and ready in minutes! I have used ghee to make this recipe. Coconut milk is a key ingredient also.

I posted this recipe via Instagram with a reel and had millions of views so thought of sharing this recipe here.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp Ghee

• 1 cup basmati rice (cooked and cooled)

• 2 medium tomatoes (chopped)

• 1 medium tomato blended

• 2 cardamom, 2 cloves

• 1 small onion (sliced)

• 1 green chili (slit)

• 5 garlic

• 3/4 cup coconut milk

• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder

• 1/2 tsp red chili powder

• 1/2 tsp garam masala

• 1/4 tsp fennel seeds

• 1/4 tsp cumin seeds

• 8-10 curry leaves

• Fresh coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)

• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep: Cook 1 cup of rice, then spread it out to cool (keeps it fluffy).

2. Tempering: In a pan, heat ghee. Add mustard and cumin seeds, letting them splutter.

3. Sauté: Add curry leaves, sliced onions, and green chili. Sauté till onions turn golden.

4. Flavor Base: Add garlic. Cook until the raw smell disappears.

5. Tomato Masala: Add chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Cook until tomatoes soften and oil releases. Add coconut milk and cook it closed for two minutes

6. Combine: Add cooked rice to the pan. Gently mix to coat rice in masala.

7. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle garam masala and fresh coriander. Serve warm with raita or chips!

Paneer Kabab

Paneer Kababs
Paneer Kababs

Paneer Kabab is a delicious shallow fried crisp yet melt in mouth Indian cottage cheese kababs seasoned with spices. It took only 30 minutes to make this.

This is totally a no onion no garlic paneer recipe. This is a great protein rich snack or a meal by itself with some vegetables. My mom loves anything with paneer so tried this to make it for her. I had a block of paneer to be used and this paneer kabab recipe was the perfect fit for this. I have all the time in the world to try. I am in a break from work and everything, so why not explore something in my kitchen at-least?!

To make paneer kabab recipe you can either deep fry the shaped kababs, shallow fry them, toast them on tava or bake them. Serve paneer kabab hot with chai.

Salmon SPicy fry3
Salmon SPicy fry3


This is a simple salmon fry recipe but flavorful mainly because of coconut oil and coconut. Spicy and Authentic.

The flavor on this recipe mainly comes from coconut oil and a good chili powder. Please try using fresh ginger and garlic rather than using ginger garlic paste. It makes a lot of difference. Try marinating at least for thirty minutes. Even overnight is good. The flavors get in. Also massage the Salmon with the marination. Don’t worry about getting your hands messy. Worth the mess!

Cauliflower Masala/ Gobi Masala

February 8, 2022 by Suki Leave a Comment

This is a simple and quick recipe that can be made in one pot with the least amount of cooking time. The delicious flavors from the cauliflower, when combined with spice powders along the onions brings out a rich texture and flavors to the curry.
There are many variants to this recipe where it can be made with thick gravy, but this recipe is a dry version of it. 

This week I went to work after a long long vacation from work. Staying home, eating, sleeping, working out and repeating was not that bad. I made this yesterday for a quick lunch for myself. To be honest, not a great fan of cauliflower but I liked it with roti. Cauliflower has many nutrients and high in fiber. I am trying to take lots of fiber and iron intake and this helps if it is tastes good.Obviously I love fried gobi but tedious and unhealthy.

CHICKEN KARAHI

February 22, 2021 by Suki 1 Comment

Chicken_Karahi-4

Chicken_Karahi-4Chicken Karahi is traditional spiced tomato based gravy that is arguably the most popular dish in Pakistan (Lahore). Karahi is a circular, thick and deep cooking pot like wok and originally was cooked in that. Karahi is like kadai or chatti in tamil. Lot of people adds onions to bring sweetness to it. There is a difference of opinion on this from me as I cook it with just spices and tomatoes only which brings that rustic color to it.

I like that there are not too many spices involved.

 Serve with hot rice, chicken biryani, ghee rice or Indian bread like naan, roti.

Egg Omelette Kurma

January 18, 2018 by Suki 1 Comment

eggkurma-2

Disclaimer: This post has been sponsored by Burnbrae Farms. I have been compensated monetarily, however, all opinions are my own, as always

eggkurma-2

Vegetable egg omelette cooked in a curry made with flavorful roasted whole spices and coconut. I used Burnbrae Egg Creations Garden Vegetable egg whites to make the omelette which simplifies cooking and makes it even easier!

I have to tell you something! I used the egg white carton from Burnbrae. If you haven’t tried it, you should know that Burnbrae’s Naturegg Simply Egg White products are real, pasteurized egg whites.

Burnbrae cracks and separates the eggs for you – creating a simple and convenient product to help get back on track from the holidays. They separate the egg whites and add vegetables or herbs (depends on the product you buy) to it with the right amount of salt and everything. Basically, you just have to add it to the pan straight and cook like any other omelette. Burnbrae is the brand I use here for eggs in Canada. I always buy their eggs 🙂 so this is not at all new to me! Very convenient and saves a lot of time. Surely a big help for mornings! Although whole eggs are healthy, Naturegg Simply Egg Whites are a lighter meal option after the holidays (fewer calories and fat). You can look for other recipes to use from their egg whites – Burnbrae recipes. They sent a beautiful package 🙂  🙂

eggkurma-7

I used Burnbrae’s Garden Vegetable Simply Egg Whites, which was perfect for this recipe. Saved some good time for me. You can very well use the eggs for this recipe and make your omelette to add to the curry.

I like making kurma as it is easy and quick to prepare. We can have it with rice or with Indian bread like naan, paratha or parotta. I have couple of kurma recipes on my blog ready: Lamb/mutton kurma, chicken spicy kurma, Potato Kurma, Paneer baby corn chettinadu kurma

You can have this egg kurma with hot rice, Jeera rice or with Indian bread like naan, paratha or parotta.
