Make the Tomato Rice
Because the rice will need to cook slowly and gently, you can leave it cook while you make the Okra. The two should be ready simultaneously.
Heat some oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot enough, add half the mustard seeds. They need to crackle in the hot oil, that helps release the flavour and get rid off any bitterness. Then add half the onions and garlic. Sautée on a medium heat until the onion turns translucent then add the tomato, green chili and then the rice.
Allow it cook for a minute then add the water. You need roughly 2ml of water for every 1 g of rice. Touch of salt and let it cook on a gentle heat for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the all the water is absorbed.

Make the Okra
Heat some oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot enough, add remaining mustard seeds. Make sure they start to crackle before adding the remaining spices. Turn down the heat so the spices don not burn. Then add in the remaining, onion, garlic and ginger. Let it sauté until the onions start to go translucent.
Then add the okra and start sautéing it. Add two tablespoons of water and cover the pan to let the okra cook in the steam. This should take about 10 minutes. Once it is cooked, sprinkle the roasted peanuts on top for added crunch.
Check the okra and rice for seasoning before serving.
