Ms. Arthi. Tried this recipe this morning. Being a cooking naivete, it took an hour for me to organize the ingredients and do the preparation as per the process outlined by you.
Pictorial and narrative were equally quite helpful.
I have done without Garlic, Am not comfortable with that flavour smell.
By the way, I have one doubt. In our home for day-to-day Rasam preparation, in our masala mix Toor Dal is added together with Pepper, Salt, Coriander Seeds and Dry Chilli. Therefore, we don't usually add cooked/mashed Dal as part of the recipe. Tamarind puree water will be boiled, and then masala mix will be added and after that we would do the tempering without that Urad Dal part.
If the same masala can be used for this Thippili Rasam, how do you add Fried, coarsed Thippili? Is it possible to add? Or we need to do this whole process from the ground up as defined by you?
Thanks
