This is one more Recipe I learnt from my mom, It is not only good for health but also very easy to make it, and tastes very well,
This Rasam goes well with Ginger pachadi & paruppu Thuvaiyal.
Here is the Recipe:
PORICHA RASAM:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup or fistful of Moong dal/Hesaru Bele/Paitham paruppu
- 1 sprig of curry leaves
- 2 to 3 sprig of coriander leaves
- salt to taste
- Tamarind Gooseberry size
To Grind:
- 1 tbsp of Black gram dal/Urad dal
- 1 tsp of pepper
- 1 or 2 Red chillies
- a pinch of asafoetida
- 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp of grated fresh coconut (optional)
METHOD
- Cook dal with enough water say around 2 glasses of water in a pressure cooker
- except for cumin & coconut , fry all the ingredients in a tsp of ghee or oil until they change the colour
- Grind all the ingredients to a fine powder
- Take the cooked dal in a vessel, with enough water in it & squeeze the tamarind extract, add to it and boil for some time so that the raw smell seizes from it
- Then add the ground masala powder & boil it while the rasam froths up, remove from fire & garnish with curry leaves & coriander leaves
- Season it with a tsp of oil & mustard seeds.
NOTE: You can squeeze lime juice when you are eating this Rasam mixed with rice and it gives a great taste to the dish. You can decrease the quantity of pepper,chillies & tamarind according to your taste.
