This takes about 25 minutes, but more time should be allowed for preparing the tomatoes, chopping the onions etc.

Ingredients:
4-6oz Patna rice
3 large tomatoes, skinned and sliced
2 large onions, sliced
6oz mushrooms (optional)
6-8oz grated or diced cheese - a strong-flavoured variety such as mature cheddar gives the best result.
3oz butter
1-1/12 pints water
seasoning

Heat half the butter in a frying pan
Fry sliced onions until nearly soft
Add tomotoes
Cook for several minutes then add the water
Bring to the boil, shake in the rice, season well and cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes)
Meanwhile fry the mushrooms (if required)in the rest of the butter
Stir cheese into the rice mixture
Serve on a hot dish and surround with the mushrooms.

Yum yum!
