   Hi Hetal & Anuja,
   Thank you guys for showing such easy recipes.
   Which company’s rassam powder did you use? Some of the store bought powders are not as authentic as south Indians.
   Thanks,
   Shakuntala

   Hey Shakuntala,

   You can use MTR rasam powder, which tastes too good.

   Hi didi,

   wow..this was so easy. I can suggest another easy rasam recipe..it is called Melagu rasam..or pepper rasam.ITs my MIL’s recipe and is just awesome.

   Fresh tangy tamarind water – 2 cups, diluted
   zeera pwdr – 1 tsp
   black pepper pwdr – 1 tsp,ur spice level or 5 pepper pods..
   turmeric pwdr – 1/4 spoon
   salt – to taste
   coriander , curry leaves – few
   fresh garlic – 3 fat ,roughly crushed with skin on.

   Add this all to a kadai,vessel and keep it on the medium flame and just cook it till one boil comes..or else the tamarind will become bitter. You have to add coriander,curry leaf in the beginin itself..so that its flavour also mixes well.Really it takes only around 15 – 20 minutes. If u have more time, u can fresh crush some zeera seeds, pepper corns in a gota pestle for a more fresh n aromatic flavour.
   Do try it..ull like it for sure.

   Hi Yogita,

   Yes, Rasam is a South Indian dish. It is traditionally made from the liquidy part of boiled toor daal, but this is just a quick fix recipe for people on the go. It can be had with plain white rice or as a soup.

   Hi Ladies,

   With Super Bowl approaching, could you please provide a great meatless chili recipe? I know you have a longggg list, but this would be great to make for super bowl. I thought surely you guys would have a fantastic recipe. I would love to make it as it is also great comfort food during winter especially.

   Thank you.

   Hi Pinal,

   We’re sorry, but we will not be able to get a chili video out in time for the Super Bowl. We will put it on our list to do. Thanks for the suggestion.

   1 cup urad dal
   3 cups rice
   soak together for 5 or 6 hrs.Blend them together with water,salt and maybe little bit of poha or cooked rice for a rice color.After the batter is done,it has to be fermented overnight in a warm place like oven or so.Your dosa batter is ready.You need a tawa and oil and spoon the batter on it and roast it for 2 mins on each side or until done.Serve with pickle

    Hi Ladies,
    I would suggest of using tomato paste or crushed tomato instead of tomato soup,which will give a authentic south Indian Rasam for your instant tomato Rasam.

    What is the brand of tamarind do you suggest. I got one but it tastes very medicinal. I do not get fresh tamarind.

    I tried this recipe but there are a few points to note. This recipe will be too “tomatoey” and is close to soup than rasam unless you add lots of water. Also, since soup is used when boiling it tends to overflow similar to boiling milk.

    You can make it with tamarind water and cut tomatoes instead of using soup.

    Hi,
    This looks yummm…….. but I think you have to add littlebit of sugar or Jaggery to it. It give sweatness to Rasam which tastes good.

    Hi Arathi,

    The tomato soup already has some sweetness added so we skipped on additional sugar/jaggery.
