I ordered fresh turmeric to try few turmeric recipes. Rasam is always known as the best food/ drink to fight any infection or soar throat or fever. Even though I make rasam almost every day my sons take it only when they are sick. In recent days if you search for food that helps to fight COVID-19 you see Rasam topping up the results. I am not sure how much it is true but I am sure back home Rasam is given to people who are down with fever. I also think because of the spices in it like Pepper, cumin, turmeric, tamarind & garlic it does help. In normal rasam, I add Turmeric powder but the addition of fresh turmeric gives a nice flavor
grated coconut -1/4 cup
grated Tomatoes – 2 tablespoons (1 small tomato)
Tamarind water -1 cup (from small marbled size tamarind)
Green chili – 2-3 (Adjust to your spice level)
Once Cool down grind to smooth paste.
In a vessel add cooked dal/dal water. Tamarind water.
Add grated garlic, tomatoes coriander leaves and required salt. Add rasam powder & hing. Mix well. In a separate flame, let’s do the tempering. Add the rest of oil add mustard seeds, cumin seeds. Let it pop. Add curry leaves, green chili, Onion. Fry for a min.
