Tomato biryani is a one pot recipe which is very easy to make and if we don't have any veggies in our home and want to have spicy biryani we can prefer this recipe. 

This biryani is south Indian recipe because here I have added coconut milk, herbs and spices. 

There are many version of making this biryani , I have made a very easiest version of tomato biryani. Here I have used pressure cooker if you want you can use thick bottom pot or pan with tight fitting lid. In this tomato biryani I have added coconut milk to make the rice very tasty and rich. If you don't want to add coconut milk you can skip it and use water instead of coconut milk. You can use vegetable stocks also. 

Here I didn't added any veggies, if you want to add any veggies you can add green peas and carrot.
