Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

Tomato biriyani is a popular South Indian dish and can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Besides being delicious, this dish also has high nutritional value because of the goodness of rice and tomatoes. While rice is rich in Vitamin A, dietary fibre and carbohydrates, tomatoes are a high source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, calcium, iron, Vitamin B6, magnesium and potassium.
