Heat oil, add jeera, curry leaves, chopped green chillies, chopped onion and garlic. Fry a little. Add tomatoes. Cook till mushy. Meanwhile, soak puffed rice in water. Soak till they are soft. Squeeze the excess water and add to the mixture. Add little salt (as puffed rice already has salt content). Finally, add turmeric powder and finally add chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice.
