Milagu rasam / Goddu saru

This rasam feels good when you have cold or fever or when you feel like having some light lunch after a continues heavy eating.

So here I go to the recipe

List 1

Jeera - 1tbsp

Peppercorns - 15

coriander seed - 1/4 tbsp

channa dal - 1/4 tbsp

Thur dal - 1/4 tbsp

curry leaves - 1 string

List 2

Tamarind - Little (coin size)

tomato - 1

coriander leaves

mustard

turmeric

Jaggery - 1/2 tsp

First in a hot pan, dry roast the ingredients in list 1 and when it cools, powder it and keep it ready. Put a teaspoon of ghee and when it is hot add mustard and curry leaves. Add the sliced tomatoes and fry it well. Then make a nice watery paste of tamarind and add more water if required. Add salt to it. Let the liquid boil very well. Now add the grounded powder to it. When it boils, add jaggery. Add curry and coriander leaves and boil it for few mins. Serve it with hot rice.
