In a pan add 1/2 tsp of oil and add the dhaniya, channa dal and red chili. Roast till golden brown.
Switch off the flame and add the kopra and tomato. Let this be in the heat for a while.
Grind this into a fine paste. You can add water while grinding.
In a pressure cooker cook the rice and toor dal using 4 cups of water for 6-7 whisltes. Mash this with a ladle and keep aside.
In a pressure cooker add 2 tblsp of oil (cooking oil + sesame oil) and add mustard seeds. Once it splutters add in the small onions. You can use finely chopped big onion too.
Once the onions turn pink add the veggies. Mix well and saute for 2 minutes. Keep the tamarind extract ready. Add the tamarind water to this.
Add in the sambar powder, asafoetida, salt and turmeric powder. Let this boil for 2 minutes.
Add in the ground paste and the mashed rice and toor dal mixture.

The only difference is i am cooking the rice and Dal together. This the the traditional bangalore version. Instead of coconut we add copra, add sundaikkai roasted in ghee. It will add to the taste. Hope u like this version too.
