Garlic rasam

Rasam prepared in iya sombu(alloy made up of tin) tastes great.But we should be very careful when preparing rasam in it coz if we cook it high flame it melts.So we got to cook in slow flame.Never want to take a chance cook in ordinary vessel & transfer it to iya sombu.That way too we get the same taste.

Garlic has so many medicinal values.When take raw in the morning it acts as a blood purifier.I love this garlic rasam.Again my mom prepares it differently.I never got the same taste so i adopted the method my mother in law prepares.It is a super hit again. Here u go.

Soak toor dhal in little water when u start preparing rasam.This will help in grinding dhal to a fine paste.Soak tamarind in water & extract juice.Dilute it by adding more water.To this juice add turmeric powder,hing & salt.Cook till raw smell of the tamarind juice goes.Grind all the items given under to grind to a fine paste adding little water.Add to the tamarind juice.Add tomato & coriander leaves.When it starts boiling take off stove.In a kadai add oil & splutter mustard seeds & jeera & add to rasam.
