Remove the tomato stem and make a ‘+’ cut on the other end.
In the rice cooker, combine rice, chopped onion (if using), green chili, red chili powder, garam masala and salt. Mix well.
Add water to the rice according to the machine instructions.
Place the tomato stem side down (‘+’ side up) in the center of the rice. Set the rice cooker to ‘Cook’ and wait till its done.
Once done, mix the rice with the mushy tomato to evenly distribute it. It’s now ready to serve. But if you want any additional mix-ins, par cook them and add them to the rice now. Mix well and Enjoy hot with some chips!!
