Easy Tomato Rice

Can you guess from whom i learnt this recipe??? Once we were out for a picnic with my husband's friends and their family . One of his bachelor friends came up with this Tomato Rice. I tasted it and it was very awesome. I couldn't believe that a bachelor prepared this. I asked him for the recipe.. He laughed and told that he used to prepare this rice most of the times and its very easy to prepare.  I tried his recipe next time and it turned out good.
Here is the recipe..
