Simple Rasam

,Hi Friends,

This is almost like an instant Rasam & I have learnt this from my Grany.
This is famous rasam in Tirunelveli region.

Ingredients:

Thaniya/Coriander seeds : 2-3 tsp
Cumin seeds : 1-11/2 tsp
Black Pepper: 2 tsp
Garlic cloves :2 (cut this into small pieces)
Tamarind : small lemon size
turmeric powder : 1/2 tsp
Currry leaves
salt - to taste

For seasoning:

Oil : 2 tsp
Mustard seeds : 2 tsp
Urad dhal : 2 tsp
Cumin seeds : 1 tsp
Asafoetida : 1/4 tsp
Currry leaves & Corainder leaves 

Method:

Grind corainder seeds, cumin seeds, pepper, garlic & few curry leaves using a blender.
Do not grind it as a fine powder...
Extract the pulp from the tamarind & add the grinded mixture into the tamarind juice.
Also add turmeric powder & salt to this.
In a sauce pan, heat oil & then add the seasoning ingredients.
Once the mustard seeds are spluttered, then add the above mixture.
Boil it for 5 min.
At the end add the finely chopped coriander leaves &  turn off the stove.

Rasam is ready to serve either as a starter or with the rice.
