INGREDIENTS
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon of black peppercorns
5-6 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 chillies
1 handful chopped coriander leaves and roots
¼ cup of red lentils
10 curry leaves
Juice of 2 limes, lemons or 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
Preferred oil of choice
Salt as required
Optional - ½ teaspoon asafoetida (hing) powder (Asafoetida is a gum from a variety of giant fennel, which naturally has a strong smell. It's a very useful spice for those who can't or won't eat onion or garlic, as it adds a similar depth and savouriness to food.)
METHOD
- Grind black pepper and cumin seeds roughly, with garlic.
- Heat up oil on medium heat in a saucepan.

- Bring rasam to boil and cook for further 30 minutes on medium heat.
