Lemon Rasam

This is a very tasty rasam. This is very easy to prepare and does not need tamarind juice. My mom use moong dhal for this rasam preparation but I use thoor dhal. Both gives you equally a good taste.




Ingredients:

1. Thoor dhal / Moong dhal - 1/4 Cup (Cooked)
2. Tomato - 1 (Cut in to pieces)
3. Green Chilly - 2 (Slit vertically)
4. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
5. Rasam Powder - 2 tsp
6. Lemon Juice - 3 tsp ( more or less depending on your taste)
7. Jeera - 1/2 tsp
8. Mustard - 1/2 tsp
9. Curry leaf - Small qty
10. Coriander - Small Qty
11. Oil - 2 tsp
12. Asafoetida - 1/2 tsp
13. Salt - Needed qty

Procedure :

1. Cook thoor dhal with 1.5 cups of water and 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder.

2. Once cooked, mash the dhal and then add tomato, curry leaf, coriander, rasam powder, salt and asafoetida. Mix the contents well and keep this bowl aside.

3. Now, add oil in a pan. Pop mustard. Then add jeera, green chillies and fry well.

4. Now, add the contents from the bowl and allow to boil well.

5. Put off the stove and then add the lemon juice. Mix well.

6. Serve hot with rice.
