To Temper:
- 1 teaspoon ghee
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 sprig curry leaves
- a generous pinch hing

Instructions
- In a pan – Dry roast the ingredients(till dal turn golden brown) listed under ‘to toast & grind’ and grind it to a coarse powder.
- Soak tamarind in 1 cup of water, take thick pulp out of it.
- Add 1/2-3/4 cup water(depends on the thickness of your tamarind pulp) to the thick tamarind pulp and let it boil till raw smell of tamarind leaves.
- Now add the coarse powder and let it boil for 2 mins…Add required salt.
- Meanwhile heat a kadai with oil+ghee and add the items listed under ‘to temper’…allow it to splutter.
- Then transfer the tempered items to the boiling rasam. Let it for a single rolling, garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.

Notes
- Ghee gives a nice flavour to the rasam so do not skip it.
- Do not let the rasam boil for more time which is the key to make a good rasam. This is little spicy with pepper so adjust red chillies according to your spice level.
- Adjust water quantity according to the thickness of the tamarind pulp.
- You can add tomatoes too…if so add it after tempering saute it for few mins till raw smell leaves.
