Tomato rice with tempeh (Lunch ideas)

on

Hello,

We are back with another recipe. If you're looking for a new lunch idea, look no further. 

A bit about this recipe- Tomato rice has been a childhood favorite of mine. Usually Tamilians eat tomato rice with vadam (fryums). That's how we used to eat it in childhood. This time, we skipped vadam and added tempeh to the rice to make it more filling and increase the protein content of the dish. And, it turned out well. We have tried this dish thrice already. 

Btw, this makes for a good lunch option for office/ school. 

Without further ado, let's have a look at the recipe. 😄
