Lemon Rasam

This is one of my favorite rasam. Usually I prepare this atleast once or twice a month.

Ingredients:

Toor Dal - 1 cup

Tomato - 1 chopped

Green chillies - 3 slit

Ginger - 2 tsp

Lemon - juice of 3

Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/3 tsp

Corriander leaves

Rasam powder- 1/3 tsp (use home made one)

Salt - as per taste

Method:

Wash dal. Add tomatoes, green chillies and ginger. Pressure cook them together. Allow to cool and mash them slightly. In a kadai, add oil, mustard seeds and the cooked dal. Add turmeric powder, rasam powder and salt. Allow it to come to boil. Switch off the gas. Add corriander leaves and allow rasam to cool for 5-10 min. Add fresh lemon juice and serve with hot rice.
