Shortcut Nasi Tomato (tomato rice) with Chicken Kurma, Fish Maw Soup and Tau Miu (Sweet pea sprouts) – EWNS Family Meal

Tomato rice

Tomato rice, chicken kurma curry and fish maw soup Chicken kurma and stir fried tau miu (sweet pea sprouts)

Sometimes when the children grew tired of eating plain rice with dishes, I would cook nasi tomato for them. Normally, evaporated milk and tomato puree are used in cooking nasi tomato. Since this is our daily regular meal, I have to improvise the recipe to a simplified one! Nasi Tomato goes well with Ayam Masak Merah (Red Curry chicken) but since I have a packet of kurma spices in my shelf, I decided to cook chicken kurma instead. I cooked fish maw soup to go with the nasi tomato. This is a fusion east west north south family meal! Ha ha ha!
