Lentil Rasam

Directions

• Soak the tomatoes and ginger in lukewarm water with a pinch of salt and this will remove the adulterant from the tomatoes. Then, take a grinder and add tomatoes, asafoetida, cumin seeds, peppercorns, ginger, curry leaves, coriander leaves and salt in it. Grind all these ingredients to a paste.
• Now, take a pan and add 2 cups of water in it. Heat the pan over medium flame. Add the ground paste and lentil and bring to a boil. Stir it for 1-2 minutes and then switch off the flame. Remove and keep it aside.
• You can add tempering or have it just like that.
