Firstly take two bowls of rice and soak them in water for one hour and then remove the water from the rice.
Keep a pressure cooker on gas and pour one spoon of desi ghee in it and let it heat.
When ghee gets heated then add two dry red chillies, one cinnamon stick, four to five cloves, one spoon of cumin seeds, one spoon of chana dal and one spoon of urad dal. Roast all of them nicely.

Mix them well and then add six medium sized chopped tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes in big pieces. Let them cook nicely till they gets soft.
Roast them well and then add two spoon of ginger and green chilli paste, salt as per taste. Mix them once and then add little water so that tomatoes can get soft quickly.
