SOUTH INDIAN RASAM RECIPE

South Indian meals (lunch, dinner, or celebration feast) are incomplete without a flavorful rasam on the menu.  Freshly ground Rasam podi gives a tasty flavor to the rasam. ingredients and proportions vary across regions. If you are making a bulk batch of Udupi rasam powder avoid adding water. For small batches, I mixed water to prevent lumps

Should I always soak toor dal?

No, it is optional but I feel soaking helps even cooking

How much water should I add while cooking dal?

It depends on the dal you use. I generally use a 1:3 dal: water ratio. The number of whistles also depends on the dal you use.

What variety of dal should I use for sambhar?

Traditionally toor dal is used. You can use moong dal or a combination of toor dal and masoor dal for variation.

Should I add the ghee tempering?

Traditionally coconut oil is used for tempering. In our home, we prefer serving with ghee while eating. You can use ghee according to your choice

CAN I REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TOMATOES FOR PARUPPU RASAM?

For udupi tomato rasam, I prefer the taste of sourness from tamarind and tomatoes. If you are reducing tomatoes, adjust the amount of tamarind accordingly.

Variations for udipi rasam

• Adjust the red chilli according to your taste
• Tomatoes give amazing flavor to the rasam but if you like tamarind, increase tamarind and reduce tomatoes
• Garnish with coconut
