Preparation Method
I dont know if many people will prepare rasam this way but its very simple, easy to cook and delicious. Its one of my mom`s speciality and we all luv it. Also its good for digestion.
Smash the ingresients for rasam podi in small ural like stone (available in many asian shop) into a rough powder and keep aside.
Add water to tamarind soak for 10 min and extract the juice. Crush the tomato to the juice and add all the ingredients for rasam to it including the above podi
Heat oil in the pan and add the mustard when its done popped add asafoetida and red chilli, immedietly add the tamarind mixture. Reduce the heat to low, alow it to cook uncovered. Turn off the heat 1 min after the rasam start to boil. Over all it will take less than 10 min for the rasam to get cooked. Over cooking it will change the taste. Pour it in a freash clean bowl and serve.
