In a kadhai dry roast red chilli, jeera, rice, half of the urad dal and curry leaves.Transfer to a plate and when cool, grind this masala-mix to a fine powder. Keep aside.
In the same kadhai, heat oil, add rai and remaining urad dal. When the rai splutters, add the chopped onion, Saute till the onions become translucent.
