Tomato Peas Pulao Recipe – Tasty & Colorful:

Tomato rice is a main course dish which is colourful, tangy, yet delectable and tickles your taste buds. Basically, tomato rice is cooked plain without any other vegetable.

But I prefer adding peas as the kids would love it and the colour of the green peas adds up to the texture of the tomato pulao. Try it out.

Tomato Peas Pulao generally doesn’t need any side dish. But, if you insist you have one, you can always serve it hot with onion raitha or any other side dish that you would like.
