Note
Skip rasam powder if not available but increase chilli powder in that case. This dish needs to be bit spicy, sweet and have a slight tang.
If you want it more tart, you may sprinkle some lime juice in the end.
Asafoetida is optional if not available but zing from ginger is a must!
Use either homemade or store bought rasam powder. It is easily available in Indian stores. It is a blend of spices commonly used to make a South Indian traditional dish called ‘rasam’. Rasam is a spicy lentil based soup.
Quantity of rasam powder to be added depends on how strong is the one you are using.
