RASAM WITHOUT TAMARIND
Kalyana rasam i recently learnt this from a friend of mine, and i was quite impressed by
the taste and asked her for the recipe of this kalyana rasam. She gave me the recipe and
when i asked her how you name this rasam, she told they call it as Iyengar rasam . When
i was thinking how to name this rasam, Raks suggested me name it as Iyengar Kalyana
Rasam. This rasam doesn’t include tamarind and Sambar Powder and Rasam
Powder too. Now i am making this kalyana rasam almost twice in a week.
INGREDIENTS [SERVES 4-5]
TOMATO 2
TOOR DAL(COOKED) 2 TBLSP
GHEE 1/2 TSP
MUSTARD SEEDS 1/4 TSP
TURMERIC POWER A PINCH
ASAFOETIDA A PINCH
CORIANDER LEAVES FEW
CURRY LEAVES FEW
TO ROAST AND GRIND:
TOOR DAL 1 TBLSP
WHOLE BLACK PEPPER 1 TSP
RED CHILLI 2
CUMIN SEEDS 1/4 TSP
METHOD:
Grind the tomatoes into a puree and reserve 1/4 portion of the tomatoes before
grinding.
Chop the 1/4 th tomatoes finely and keep them aside.
Roast the ingredients under the “TO ROAST AND GRIND” table with 1/4 tsp of ghee.
Add cumin in the last and switch off the flame.
Allow it to cool and grind it into a fine paste by adding little water.
Add this paste to the tomato puree and transfer everything to the vessel in which you
are going to make rasam. Add turmeric powder, asafoetida and salt to this.
Allow this to boil in a low flame for 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile cook the toordal and add 1 to 1 and 1/2 cups of water to the dal and add
this to the boiling tomato mixture.
When it comes to a froth switch off the flame and garnish with curry leaves and
coriander leaves.
When it is hot add the reserved ,chopped tomatoes to this and temper with mustard
seeds.
the tomatoes will get cooked in the hot rasam and will give a very good aromatic
flavor.
Note:
1. You can add 1 tblsp of coconut while grinding .
2. While roasting the masala add the cumin seed in the last else it will give a bitter
taste.
