Tomato Rice Vermicelli Pulao


                Long back i saw in "Anithavin Samayal" vermicelli rice pulao ,in that recipe she simply pressure cooked roasted vermicelli n rice together n made one sauce to go along with.But i am not impressed with the entire recipe so i took the idea of cooking rice n vermicelli together n made tomato pulao with it.The result was so yummy,tangy mild spicy rice vermicelli pulao tastes great.This time i used tomato paste instead of chopped tomatoes.My "H" who doesn't like vermicelli just loved this tomato pulav.I served with Raitha n Egg plant curry.The recipe as follows :


Ingredients
  1. Basmati rice     1 cup
  2. Vermicelli      3/4 cup

Notes:
you can also make vegetable biryani ,paneer pulav,egg biryani with rice n vermicelli combo.
Add less water to get separate grains,for 1 ams 3/4 cup rice n verm i added 2 and 1/4 cup of water.
Instead of chopped ginger n garlic, you can use ginger garlic paste also.
