How to Make Quick Masala Rice

• In a large pan, heat some oil.
• When the oil is hot, cook the cumin, mustard, urad dal, channa dal and red chilli until they start sputtering.
• Add the ginger-garlic paste, the chopped tomatoes, garam masala powder and turmeric powder.
• Cover and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Now add the cooked rice and some salt and mix it so that the tomato base coats the rice fully.
• The tomato mixture should not be too watery otherwise the rice will become soggy.
