It is very tasty and gives different biriyani taste. I am preparing this rice in biriyani rice. (Jeeraha samba rice). We can make it in basmathy rice also. When we are having with  brinjal raitha or onion pachadi, it will be more delicious. My husband and my daughter also liked very much. I am not adding puthina in this. If we like, we can add puthina(mint leave) along with coriander leaves. let us see how to prepare yummy Tomato biriyani.
