Rasam
Rasam Rice is one of my favorite South Indian cuisine. Rasam means juice in Tamil or Telgu. It can mean any juice, but in South Indian cuisine Rasam is a thin soup made with tamarind, tomatoes and some spices. It is good to have when its a cold weather. Rasam can be refrigerated and stored for 2-3 days. The recipe I am sharing is without Rasam Powder. We usually get Rasam powders readily available in markets but if you don't have powder available at your home so you can make it easily by following the recipe I am sharing with you all. Rasam Ingredients 3 ripe tomatoes 10-12 black pepper corns 1 inch ginger 4-5 garlic cloves 1 cup tamarind juice 5-6 curry leaves 1 tsp cumin powder 1 cup cooked lentils (toor dal) 1 tsp mustard seeds Half tsp kasmiri red chili powder Half tsp turmeric powder 1-2 pinches of asafoetida salt as per taste 3 cups of water 2 tsp oil Salt as per taste Recipe Roughly chop tomatoes, ginger, garlic and black pepper corns
