Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Spiced Rice

   In a bowl, add the cooked rice. Sprinkle 1.5 teaspoons of red chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1-2 chopped green chilies, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander leaves over the rice. Mix thoroughly by hand until all the spices and herbs are evenly distributed and the rice grains are coated.

2. 2.Sauté Onions and Tomatoes

   Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Then, add the chopped tomato and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it softens slightly.

3. 3.Combine and Stir-fry

   Add the prepared spiced rice mixture to the pan with the sautéed onions and tomatoes. Mix everything together thoroughly using a spatula, ensuring the rice is well combined with the other ingredients. Continue to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice to heat through.

4. 4.Serve Tawa Pulao

   Once heated through and well mixed, transfer the Tawa Pulao to a serving bowl. Serve hot as a standalone meal or with a side of raita.
