Selavu Rasam

  • Tamarind - Small gooseberry size
  • Turmeric - 2 pinches
  • Coriander - few
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil as required

Group II
  • Garlic - 8
  • Cumin- 1 tsp
  • Coriander - 1 tsp
  • Pepper corn - 1 tsp
  • Red chilly - 1
  • Curry leaves - few
  • Tomato - 3/4 medium size

Group III
  • Mustard - 1/4 tsp
  • Red chilly - 1
  • Hing - a pinch
  • Curry leaves - few
  • Shallot - 2 chopped

Method
  • Soak tamarind in a cup of water for few mints.Then extract the juice & keep it aside.
  • Heat oil to the pan & roast all the group II ingredients.Allow it to cool & grind it with the turmeric. Then add tamarind juice & salt to it & keep aside.
  • Now heat the kadai with a spoon of oil & season the group III ingredients. Pour the rasam & bring it to boil. Remove it from flame by adding coriander leaves.
Tips for the recipe - Red onions can be used instead of shallots.  Spice flavour should be the dominant in this rasam. Adding too much of tomatoes will change the taste of the rasam.
