Spicy Tomato Rice (Nasi Tomato Berempah)

 This was my yesterday's menu for breaking-off fast. The Spicy Tomato Rice was served with Spicy Tomato Chicken and simple tomato salad. It was unplanned for and hence such a bold presentation consuming whatever available ingredients and prepared in a rush after returning from work. It was so good and wanted to have more but had to control myself - two plates of rice should be more than enough....hehehe very satisfying.
