Ingredients
Mysore Rasam soup is absolutely foreign to us in Europe. I discovered it thanks to the rasam spice mix which I was gifted by my colleague. Recipe for this soup is fairly easy and with help of pressure cooker it can be done within few minutes.
This recipe has originated from Mysore hence the name Mysore Rasam. Very specific about this variation is use of the coconut.
Directions
- Heat up the ghee in your pressure cooker pot.
- Add asofetida, curry leafs, mustard seeds.
- Sauté until seeds are popping and get darker color 2-3 minutes
Traditionally Tadka is cooked separately and returned on top of the soup at the very end before serving. However I have found very little difference in the flavor. For the ease of the whole process I'm not removing the Tadka. Tadka stays in the pot in for the whole duration on the pressure cooking.
- Add coconut and sauté until lightly toasted about 30 seconds.
- Add in lentils, water and turmeric.
- Pressure cook for 10 minutes on 80kpa and naturally release for another 10 minutes.
- Release remaining pressure.
- Add rest of ingredients, tomatoes, tamarind, rasam powder, salt, sugar, water.
- Reduce for another 5 minutes, soup needs to boil.
- Serve with toast on the side and garnish with fresh cilantro.
