Step One
To prepare the Persian tomato rice, wash the rice well, then put the tomatoes in a blender or mixer and puree them well (If you do not have a blender, you can grate the tomatoes.)
Note: When soaking the rice, we can add half a cup of mashed tomatoes to the rice if desired. In addition to changing the color of the rice, it also helps to make the tomato tail tastier.
Step Two
Pour the rice into a suitable pot, then add enough water to cover the rice thoroughly. In the end, add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Step Three
At this stage, chop the onion into small pieces, put a suitable pot on the heat and add some oil. Add the chopped onion to the pot and fry a little to lighten the onion well.

Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and chop them into the shape of cubes. Then wash the potatoes well with cold water to completely remove excess starch.
