Preparation


Dry roast kandathippili, pepper and tur dal. on medium flame. When you get a nice aroma, turn off the heat and add cumin seeds. Fry the cumin seeds in the heat of the pan. Once it cools, powder it (not too fine) and keep it aside. This is the rasam powder for this rasam.

Soak tamarind in hot water for 15 minutes and extract its juice. Discard the pulp. If using tamarind paste, mix 1/2 tsp tamarind paste with a cup of water.

Dal water is not necessary but it enhances the taste of the rasam. So if you cook dal, you can keep 1 tbsp of cooked dal aside for this rasam and dilute it.

    this is an easy recipe; probably the main ground powder (kandanthippili, pepper, toor dal- ground) can be stored in an ai-tight container for weeks.
