INGREDIENTS:

1. Sooji (Semolina) - 2 cup
2. Tomato - 2 Large
3. Green Chillies- 3 or 4
4. Onion - 1 (small)
5. Ginger - 1 inch (Finely chopped)
6. Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tbsp
7. Cilantro
8. Salt to taste
9. Cashew nuts - 1 tbsp
10. Seasoning- (Mustard seeds ,Cumin Seeds, Urad dal) - 1/4 tbsp each
11. Chana Dal - 1 tbsp
12. Curry Leaves

PROCEDURE:

1. Chop tomatoes and onions into small pieces. Then chop green chillies and ginger into very fine pieces and keep all of them a side. Take a pan add 3 tbsps oil and heat it. When the oil is hot enough add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and channa dal. Once the mustard seeds start spluttering add cashew nuts, curry leaves and fry them till cashews turn into golden brown color.

2. Now add green chillies and fry for 1 min. Then add turmeric powder, chopped onions and little salt. Salt helps onions to cook faster. Cook them till onions become transparent. 

3. Once onions are cooked add chopped tomato and ginger pieces. Cover and cook them on medium heat till tomatoes become soft like paste.

4. After all vegetables are cooked add water and salt. Taste the water to check whether salt is enough. Bring the water to boil. (1 cup Sooji = 3 1/2 cup water). When the water reaches its boiling point reduce the heat to medium. Take sooji in a drinking glass. It helps the sooji to flow uniformly and in small quantities. Then add sooji to water slowly. While adding sooji to the boiled water keep mixing continuously to avoid lumps.

5. Cook it for just 1 more min by stirring continuously until you get your required consistency. Then turn off the stove and add chopped cilantro and mix it well. 

6. Serve tomato bath hot with coconut chutney or kara podi.
