Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice
• 1 cup cooked soybeans (or canned, rinsed)
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 green chillies, slit lengthwise (adjust according to spice preference)
• 2 cups water (or vegetable broth)
• 1 Maggie cube (for added flavor)
• 2 tablespoons oil (olive or vegetable)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chilli powder (optional, for extra heat)
• Salt, to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In your rice cooker, add the oil and set it to the sauté mode (if available). Add cumin seeds and allow them to crackle. Then, add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

3. Add the Chillies and Tomatoes: Stir in the green chillies and chopped tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes soften and blend with the onions.

4. Spice It Up: Add the cooked soybeans, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and the Maggie cube. Crush the Maggie cube slightly before adding to help it dissolve. Mix everything well and let it cook for a couple of minutes.

5. Cook the Rice: Add the rinsed rice and water to the mixture. Stir gently to combine. Close the lid of the rice cooker and set it to the 'cook' mode.

6. Final Touch: Once the rice is done cooking, let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before opening. Fluff the rice gently with a fork.

7. Garnish and Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired, and enjoy your Spicy Soybean and Tomato Rice with the delightful flavor of Maggie!
