Tomato Rice

Tomato Rice is made of tomatoes and rice. This is my husband's favorite dish. So I make it very often, also it makes my job easy since, we don't need to prepare any side dish or curry for it, also it is cooked in rice cooker. So once all the ingredients are fried, add rice, water and close the lid, then we can chit chat or pass the time near the TV, so no tensions and no more stirring in between. What do u say????
