Lemon Rasam

One of the tastiest Rasam. My daughter loves it. She likes the smell of boiled green chillies with lemon. I make it often when my children have a craving for this Rasam. To add, this is also one of the easiest ones to make.

Ingredients

1.     Boiled Toor Daal (Tuvaram Paruppu)

2.     Chopped Green Chillies – about 5 to 6

3.     1 Tomato – finely chopped/Tamarind - very little

4.     Lemon - 2

5.     Turmeric – ¼ tablespoon

6.     Curry leaves and Coriander Leaves

7.     Seasoning – Mustart, Jeera, Hing

Procedure

1.     Take a bowl, add few cups of water and boil at medium flame

2.     Add cut green chillies, chopped Tomatoes and Turmeric. You could also add Tamarind in small quantity instead of Tomato. In the rasam in the picture, I have used Tamarind and believe me the rasam tastes completely different and tastier.

3.     Let this boil for some time about 10-15 minutes, so that chillies and tomatoes are properly cooked

4.     Add Boiled and mashed Toor Daal(Tuvaram Paruppu) and let it boil for another 5 minutes

5.     Now add seasoning with Ghee, Mustard seeds, Jeera, Hing and Curry leaves and Switch off.

6.     Add Chopped coriander and let the liquid come to room temperature.

7.     Once the Rasam reaches room temperature, cut the lemons and add the juice to the Rasam. As there is no tamarind to add sourness, you may be required to taste the Rasam and add more lemon juice to get the correct level of sourness.
