For seasoning powder:
Step1
Dry roast the ingredients for seasoning powder until the chana dal turns light brown, and set aside.
Step2
When they cool, grind into a fine powder.
Step3
Heat oil in a vessel and crackle mustard seeds.
Step4
Add curry leaves, chopped onions and green chillies. Stir till the onions turn brown.
Step5
Add the tomato puree and mix well. Cook till the moisture evaporates and the mixture resembles a soft mush.
Step6
Add the seasoning powder and mix well. Add the cooked rice and stir till the mix is incorporated.
Step7
Garnish with coriander and serve hot. It tastes even better as a packed lunch the next day, as the rice fully absorbs the masalas.
