Ingredients
- ¼ cup kollu / horse gram
- 1 small sized tomato roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoon tamarind pulp
- 2 teaspoon coriander leaves finely chopped

To Temper:
- ½ teaspoon Mustard seeds

To crush coarsely :

Instructions
- Soak kollu(horsegram) overnight with enough water. Pressure cook with 1 and ½ cups of water for 5 whistles. Drain the water with a handful of kollu, set it aside. Reserve the remaining kollu for making sundal.
- Crush garlic, pepper and jeera coarsely using a hand mortar and pestle, set aside. In a pan add oil and temper the items listed under 'to temper'
- Then add the crushed garlic-pepper-jeera mixture and sauté for a minute. Then add required salt, hing and turmeric powder. Add tomatoes and sauté till raw smell leaves.
- Mash the kollu with the drained water once and then add it to the tempered items. Add tamarind paste and allow it for a frothy boil. Then add chopped coriander leaves and switch it off.
- Kollu Rasam is ready!
Notes
- We can also add rasam powder but I prefer freshly crushed garlic jeera and pepper.
- Soaking kollu is a must so that it gets cooked soft.
- You can use cooked water for making rasam, soup and cooked kollu for making sundal or any stir fried dish.
