2 tbsp toor dal
1 tomato

To Make Rasam

2 tbsp tamarind pulp
2-3 cups water
1 tsp turmeric powder
Salt
1/4 tsp asafoetida
2-3 tbsp cilantro

To Prepare To Temper

1 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds

Method

To Maste a Paste

* Soak cumin seeds, peppercorns, and lentils for 20-30 minutes.

* Drain the water and transfer the peppercorns and cumin seeds to a blender along with chopped tomato.

* Also, add the soaked tur dal.

* Grind to a coarse paste by adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed.

To Make Rasam

* Dilute tamarind pulp and mix with water. Add this to the stockpot.

* Add the ground paste, turmeric powder, asafoetida, and salt. Stir and cook this on low flame and let it simmer for 10 minutes or until the raw smell of the tamarind goes. It will begin to thicken. Do not cover.

* Once it comes to a boil and becomes frothy on top, add chopped cilantro and turn off the flame.

To Prepare to Temper

* Add oil to a tadka pan.

* Temper mustard seeds, and once they crackle, add a few chopped curry leaves. Pour this tempering over the broth and it's done.

* Serve this as a soup or appetizer drink.
