Rasam is my all time favorite simple comfort food. I always and still love my mom's rasam recipe and till today never achieved in making like what she makes. The easiest recipe is never easy for me. :-) So I took the help of the MTR Rasama Powder for the rescue. It turned out very good and colorful. You can serve this with your choice of sides/fry.
Ingredients:

1 tsp Oil
1/4 tsp Mustard seeds
1/4 tsp Cumin seeds
1/8 tsp Asafoetida
1 Sprig Curry leaves
2-3 dry Red Chilies
Salt to taste
Water as needed
Method:
---------
1. In a deep sauce pan add oil and when it's hot add mustard seeds and when they start to sputter add ddry red chilies, curry leaves, asafoetida and finally the garlic.
2. When the garlic turns slight brown reduce the flame to low and add chili powder and turmeric powder.
3. After few seconds, add the tomatoes and cover and cook in medium flame until the tomatoes are cooked for about 5 mins.
4. Now add rasama masala, tamarind pulp and enough water about 3 cups keeping the flame in medium and keep the lid half open.
5. Just about when it is to boil, you can see some foam coming up.
6. Off the flame and add cilantro sitr it once and cover it and let it sit for about 2-3 mins.
