Process:-

  1. Take rice wash it and pour double the quantity of water and let it soak for 10-15 mins and then cook rice . After cooking cool it .
  2. Chop tomatoes & green chillies.
  3. Heat a shallow/deep frying pan add 2tspns oil and when hot add tomatoes and tamarind . Add 1 tspn salt and mix nicely . Cook covered till mushy . Then takeout the lid and increase the flame and mix continously for 2 mins so that water from tomatoes will evaporate .
  4. Switchoff stove and transfer it to another container . Let this cool.
  5. Take a paper towel and wipe off the pan neatly and switch it on again . Add 1 tbspn oil and make talimpu by adding urad dal , chana dal , peanuts and dry red chilly . Once they start turning golden colour add cumin ,mustard , asafoetida , methi powder , green chillies . Once green chillies are fried add curry leaves and switchoff stove.
  6. Grind tomato tamarind mixture to a fine paste.
  7. In cooked rice add grinded tomato paste and mix nicely.
  8. Add talimpu to the rice and mix nicely .
  9. Let this sit for atleast 15 mins before serving .
  10. Serve this with papad or veggie straws or fryams.
  11. For me this is a good lunch box idea.
  12. NOTE:- U can make tomato tamarind paste in large quantity and u can store it for 2 months in refrigerator. When ever u want to prepare this tomato pulihora u can cook rice ,cool it , add sufficient paste , make talimpu and add . Mix all and tomato pulihora is ready to eat . But if u want to store like this u should take enough care while preparing . U should add sufficient salt .
