Recipe Notes
Adjust the amount of tomatoes by how they taste. (reduce if they taste sour or increase if they taste less sour)
1 cup rice cup is used for measurement
Adjust the red chili powder and green chilies to taste
Usually I use 1:2 ratio of rice to water but reduced 1/4th cup as there is moisture from tomatoes.
You can use any rice of your choice(I used basmati rice) but if using brown rice, cooking time should be increased.(Do manual high 20 mins)
You can soak rice if you wish, I didn't soak
You can skip whole spices and add 1.5 tsps of garam masala at the end with salt.
Vegans can use Oil instead of ghee
