You need -
A cup of boiled dal/lentil
2 tomatoes
Some coriander and curry leaves
Rasam Powder (if your grandma doesn't make it for you, you can buy MTR)
What you have to do -
- Boil 5 cups of water
- Chop up tomatoes lengthwise and allow it to boil with the water
- Add the cup of dal/lentil and allow to boil for another few minutes
- Add salt to taste, and two spoons of rasam powder and boil for another 10 minutes
- Take off the stove and add chopped coriander
- Heat a spoon of oil, add mustard, asafoetida and curry leaves and add to rasam
Serve with hot rice, any dry curry and roasted papad - and you have your quintessential Tamil meal!

I think you meant "heat oil" instead of "boil" for the Tadka/Talchufying :P
Thanks for pointing that out - I'm still new to this and am getting used to the kitchen terminology. Change made! :)
