    Goddu Rasam

    For this rasam, we have to use raw thur dal. Instead of cooking the dal, we have to use as it is.
    Ingredients:

    1 tab sp Thur dal
    1 – 1 ½ sp Tamarind Paste
    1 – 1 ½ sp Rasam Powder

    For Seasoning:

    1 sp Mustard seeds
    1 sp Cumin seeds
    ¼ sp Turmeric powder
    1 Ripe Tomato
    A pinch of asafetida
    Salt
    2 sp Ghee
    Coriander leaves

    Method:

    In a pan make seasoning.
    And pour 1 cup water and add ‘Tamarind paste’.
    Mix well and add Rasam powder, turmeric powder, thur dal and asafetida powder.
    Add cut tomato and salt.
    Let it boil for 5 – 10 min.
    At this time you add 1 cup water more in the rasam.
    Bring it to a boil and remove from the fire and add coriander leaves.

    Note: If you want you can make seasoning and add that to Rasam, after you complete the rasam. You can fry thur dal and add in the rasam.
