Add ginger garlic paste, slit green chilli and saute for 1-2 minutes, stir constantly to prevent burning.
Add the spice mix and chopped tomato, cook till soft on medium heat for approx. 3-4 minutes.
Drain the water from the rice and lentil mix and add to the pot, fry lightly on high to medium heat for 2 minutes.
