Simple Rasam

INGREDIENTS

¾ cup split pigeon peas (arhar dal)

Salt to taste

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (and as required for tempering)

2 teaspoons mustard seeds

3 Madras chillies

12 fresh curry leaves

3 tomatoes, finely chopped

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

2 tablespoons tamarind pulp

3 teaspoons rasam powder

METHOD

1. In a saucepan, combine the split pigeon peas with 2 ½ cups of water and bring to a boil on medium heat.

Add salt and stir well. Once the lentils are properly cooked, reduce the heat to low and keep simmering.

2. Meanwhile, in another pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, Madras chillies and curry leaves. As spices crackle, add the tomatoes and sauté for a minute.

3. Add turmeric and tamarind pulp, mix well and sauté for 2 minutes. Now add the rasam powder and sauté for another minute.

4. Combine the boiled lentils with the tamarind-spice infusion and mix thoroughly till well combined. Add water if required to make a thin broth and bring to a boil.

5. Serve hot with plain steamed rice.
