One of the few recipes i learnt from my Mum was Rasam, i dont think any south indian can survive without rasam! My brother will agree whole heartedly as he is a rasam fan!!
This recipe is simple and you dont need rasam powder.
1 tomato
2 flakes of garlic
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp jeera powder
1/2 tsp pepper powder
1 heaped tsp corriander powder
Chop the tomato into 8 pieces and put in a bowl, mash the garlic flakes and add to the tomato, add all the powders to this, mix together. Pour about 1 cup of water and set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a vessel, put in 1 red chilli, 1/4 tsp each of methi (fenugreek), urad dhal, channa dhal, jeera. Add 1 tsp mustard and a pinch of asfoetida. When the mustard starts spluttering add 1 sprig of curry leaves. Immediately add the tomato mixture along with 1/2 tsp of tamarind paste dissolved in 1 cup water. Add salt to taste. Give it one boil, switch off and garnish with cilantro.
You can add little more tamarind depending on your taste.
