Tomato rice

It was too hot to cook, but families don't just feed themselves, specially during the holidays. On top of it, I wanted to have something slightly traditional. This tomato rice was perfect.

For ground masala
2 red chilies
1 tsp dhania seeds
1 1/2 tsp split chana dal
1/2 tsp urad dal
A pinch of hing

2 cups of cooked rice
Cooking oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
2 onions chopped
1 sprig curry leaves
1 green chili
2 large tomatoes- 1 chopped, 1 pureed
Salt to taste

Method
Roast the whole spices till the dals are well browned. Cool, and grind to a powder
Heat oil,temper with mustard seeds. Once they stop spluttering, add onions, green chilli and curry leaves, and saute till the onion turns transparent. Add tomatoes, and the ground masala and cook till the tomatoes turn mushy.
Add cooked rice and mix well. Serve with curds or raita or pachadi.
