Tomatoe rice

Here's a quick and easy recipe that can come in handy if you're busy and need to finish cooking in 10 mins(of course, you must have rice cooked and ready!). You don't need curry to go with this. Chicken fry will go amazingly well with this dish, but, like I said, if you don't have the time, you could just have it with pickle to enhance the taste.

Ingredients:

5 cups cooked rice
2 tbsps ghee
2-4 pieces of red chilli
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tbsps channa dal
2 tbsps cashew nuts broken
2 tsps urad dal
2 tsps ginger-garlic paste
a stalk of curry leaves
1 onion chopped
2 green chillies, finely chopped
salt to taste
3- 4 tomatoes finely chopped
1/4 tsp hinge
a pinch of garam masala(optional-too much would spoil the taste)
coriander leaves

Method:

1. Heat ghee, add red chilli pieces, mustard seeds, cumin seeds.
2. When they start to splutter, add channa dal, urad dal and cashew till they turn slightly brown.
3. Add ginger garlic paste and curry leaves to release aroma.
4. Add onion and green chilli and salt.
5. When onion turns transparent, add tomatoes, and cook in medium heat till they are slightly smashed.
6. Add hinge and if needed, garam masala.  
7. Turn off the flame and add cooked rice; garnish with coriander leaves.
