Easy rasam


Sharing with you another simple version of a rasam variety. If you don't have stock of rasam powder don't worry, just follow the procedure below.

Rasam tastes different when the procedure, ingredients and combinations, cooking chemistry varies. so you can present the dish with same name with a new twist in taste & look.

I prepare this specially for my FIL who has chewing problem. So I cook the tomatoes along with  dhal (so that portein intake is also taken care of) and grind it to nice paste & prepare the rasam.

Don't think the list is too...oo long. they are the basic masala powders that you will be having in the kitchen. If not then go ahead and add some sambar powder. Rasam will still taste divine and different!

Ingredients :
  1. Tomato - 1 big
  2. Toor dal - 1/4 tea cup
  3. Dhania powder - 1.5 tsp
  4. Jeera powder - 1 tsp
  5. Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
  6. Red chilli powder - 1/4 tsp
  7. roasted & powdered fenugreek powder - 1 pinch (optional)
  8. Tamarind - 1/2 lemon size
  9. Asafoetida powder - 1/4 tsp
  10. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
  11. Salt to taste
  12. Jaggery - 1 tsp
  13. Coriander leaves finely chopped - 1 tsp
  14. green chilli slit - 1 no
  15. Ghee - 1tbsp
  16. Mustard seeds

Procedure :

  • Soak tamarind in 1/2 cup of hot water for 10 minutes and extract the juice & pulp using 2 more cups of water.
  • Chop tomatoes finely
  • Wash and pressure cook dal adding tomato pieces till 3 whistles.
  • In the meantime, Add  asafoetida, dhania, jeera, pepper, fenugreek, red chilli and turmeric powders, Slit Green Chilli, Jaggery to the tamarind extract, bring to boil, simmer the flame & cook for 5 minutes
  • Grind the dal tomato mixture to a nice paste and add to the boiling tamarind extract.
  • Add salt
  • bring to boil cooking on low flame till foam forms on top
  • Remove from flame, temper mustard seeds in ghee & add it to the rasam.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves
  • another version of the yummy rasam is ready to be relished with white rice.
