Tomato Rice

While i was thinking what to prepare for today's lunch and also felt lazy ( but not lazy to take photos :)... ) to cut vegetables then i saw some left over readymade tomato puree in my fridge. I thought i will make Tomato rice. Then just chopped only onions for this recipe. It's a simple, easy and quick variety rice recipe. I used basmati rice for this. So i prepared this tomato rice in few minutes. I didn't use any masala ingredients to this. I made it very simple. It was tasty because of basmati rice or ready made tomato puree i dont know but trust me it was very yummy.
