3. Green chillies - 4/5 according to ur taste
4. One big onion - (as usual small onions would taste better)
5. Garlic pods - 3 (Optional)
6. Tomato - 1 medium size. (If u don't have..u can leave it..But it adds more taste. V always put it).
7. Curry leaves (This most of the time v may not have..in that case..leave it)
8. Corriandar leaves.
9. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

PS : This is my version. In original version, we put only thoor dhal. I put channa and thoor dhal.
-To get different flavor, you can put one spoon sambar powder.
-Instead of chana/thoor dhal, you can try with avara paruppu(The broken version)...Wow!..This is Yummmm.. My favorite :)

Best Side dish for this is Potato, brinjal porial.
You can have this rice with curd also.
