Rasam made with home made rasam podi/powder. First, let's make the powder -
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp black pepper seeds (or as needed for the heat)
2 tsp black mustard seeds
Some curry leaves.
Dry fry these ingredients to release the aroma (do not over fry).
Cool down and pound to a smooth powder in a mortar.
Keep aside.
Now, let's make the rasam with it.
Add 1 large chopped tomato, 7 smashed garlic and 2 cups of water in a pot.
Simmer to soften both the ingredients.
Then, lightly mash (see pic).
Add 3/4 tbsp of rasam podi/powder and 1 1/2 tsp turmeric powder.
Simmer.
Pour in some tamarind/asam juice and season with salt.
Lightly heat through and off the heat.
NOTE - store the balance of rasam powder in a bottle for the next pot of rasam.
