Description - Step 1

Build the Tempering

Warm the oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once they crackle, drop in the urad dal and chana dal. Let them turn golden so they release their nutty aroma. Add curry leaves, grated ginger and the chopped green chilli. Stir briefly, letting everything bloom in the hot oil before switching off the flame.

Prepare the Tomato Rice Mix

Heat oil and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and the dried red chilli. When the spices crackle, add the onions and cook until soft. Stir in the ginger–garlic paste and allow the raw aroma to fade. Add tomatoes, turmeric, chilli powder, sambar powder and salt. Cook until the mixture turns pulpy, then fold in the cooked rice until coated evenly. Finish with fresh coriander.
