Thakkaali (Tomato) Pachadi

1/2 cup thoor dhal half cooked

3 Ripe Tomatoes chopped

3 green chilies slit

1/4 onion chopped

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp urud dhal

Few curry leaves

Little coriander leaves chopped

1 pinch asafetida

1 pinch turmeric powder

1/2 tbsp sambar powder

In a pan, put 2 tbsp oil and tamper mustard seeds and urud dhal, after that add curry leaves. Then add onions and green chilies. Once onions are slightly brown, add tomatoes. Put some salt, turmeric powder and sambar powder. Let the tomatoes cook well and the raw smell of the powder goes away. By the side, half cook 1/2 cup of thoor dhal in a pressure cooker, it should not be a paste. You should be able to see the thoor dhal itself but cooked. Once the tomatoes are cooked well, add asafetida and this dhal to it. Simmer it for 5 mins and then garnish with coriander leaves.

Add this to plain white rice with ghee and a potato fry on the side.
