Add water and salt to this mixture and let it boil. Add the washed rice and cook in low flame. Remove from fire when the water is drained. Add oil in another pan and splutter mustard seeds and add tomatoes. Add a little salt. ( remember we put the salt when cooking the rice) Saute until the tomatoes are cooked.
