Directions
• Cook 2 cups rice and keep aside. Let it cool.
• Take 2 spoons oil and saute the all the items in Ingredients List 1. Without adding any water, let it cook for 7 minutes or till the tomatoes are finely cooked and become a paste. Cook it with the lid on.
• When this mixture cools, grind it to a very fine paste . It smells great!!!
• In a wok, add one large spoon oil and saute all the items in Ingredients List 2 (except cilantro) until the onions turn brown. To it, add the previously prepared tomato paste and stir until the mixture loses oil. It will take adout 5 minutes.
