My version of Tomato rice:

Heat oil. Add a tsp of sombu aka perunjeerakam and a piece of pattai(optional). Once flavourful, add urad n channa dhal. Saute until golden. add in chopped curry leaves,onions,garlic. Saute until transparent. Add chopped tomatoes, red chilly powder, turmeric powder,salt. saute until the tomatoes turn pulpy and well cooked. Mix with rice. Garnish-cori leaves.

Note: U can add dry red chillies,green chillies instead of chilly powder. In that case, add it along with onions.[/b]

Question about tiffon sambar powder recipe,

Tiffon Sambar powder
---------------------
Kadalai paruppu - 1 cup
dry coriander seeds - 1 cup
Methi seeds - 1/4 cup
Dry red chilly - 25
In a pan put 2 tblsp of oil , in the slow fire fry the red chilly nicely. remove it and keep in a plate. Then in the same pan fry rest of the ingredients one by one nicely , remove it and let it comes to room temperature. Then grind coarsely in the mixier and store it in a air tight container to retain the freshness of the powder.


Is the quantity of methi seeds right? When I made using these measurements, it tasted quite bitter. Can you please clarify this?

Thanks,
Sangeetha
