Story behind this idea:
My mom used to make kind of vadiyalu with left over rice, she used to take left over rice, tomato, salt, zeera and chilli powder and made vadiyalu and left for sun dry. Once they are dried she used to fry in oil........I like those a lot, esp. when fried the tomato taste is super..............i thought now as there is no sun, let me bake and see...........came out super............if kids are there you can reduce the spice

Hope you like it
