2.Onions - 2(Chopped finely)
3.Ginger, Garlic, Green Chilli - chopped finely
4.Tomatoes -4(Chopped finely)

9.Ghee - 2 tsps

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

• In a wide pan, add oil. ,add finely chopped ginger,garlic and green chilli and saute it for few mins. Then, add the onions and fry for a couple of minutes.
• When the onions are done, add the chopped tomatoes and fry well,now add turmeric powder and enough salt.
• Then  Rasam Powder and Sambar powder Mix well and let this cook on medium for a while. Add about 2 more tsps of oil at this point.Keep cooking until most of the moisture evaporates.You can see the tomato paste getting thicker. Keep stirring it so it does not stick to the bottom.
• Cool down the cooked rice so that they don't stick together.
• When the tomato paste is done, mix the rice little at a time with the tomato paste. Add salt if required. At this point, add about 2 tsp of ghee - that just brings out all the flavor and cuts down the heat a little bit.
