Rasam is one comfort food, and trying different variations is one favorite thing these days. This gooseberry rasam is one favorite of mine to drink as soup than mixing it with rice. In this cold weather with extra pepper powder it would taste brilliant.
Ingredients:
2 - Amla / Gooseberry, chopped finely
1/2 tsp - Cumin seeds
1/2 tsp - Peppercorns
2 - Green chillies
1/2 inch ginger
Add 2 tablespoon water and grind to smooth paste. Mix the paste to 2 cups water, add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, salt and bring to a gentle boil. Add water, salt as required. Cook in low heat until it begins to start frothy approx 6 -7 minutes.
1 tsp - Ghee
1/2 tsp - Mustard
1/2 tsp - Cumin seeds
Salt
Hing
Curry leaves and Coriander
Heat ghee in a pan, splutter mustard seeds, cumin seeds, few curry leaves, hing and pour on the rasam.
Sprinkle coriander leaves and serve hot, i prefer to drink it as soup.
