hi hetal
this is my version of the traditional rasam..

i generally prepare the rasam powder at home.. the measure is
black pepper-2 measure
jeera-2
coriander-6
methi-1/2
mustard-1/8
red chillies-to taste

the pepper and chilles are roasted in little oil while the others are dry roasted.

once its cooled, its ground to a powder. this rasam powder can be stored in a air tight container for 2-2.5 months.

while preparing the rasam,
boil tamarind juice with finely chopped tomatoes, hing and haldi powder and curry leaves. once it boils well add the cooked toor dal (watery), salt n jaggery. in the end add rasam powder to taste & add finely chopped cilantro.
n season it in ghee with mustard..

Hi Zee,

Even if you are using fresh tomatoes, the spices will not change. The soup has a bit of added sweetness so you can possibly add a bit of sugar but its totally optional.
