Kollu Rasam is generally we have to soak in water overnight and pressure cooker it and then grind and add to make rasam. But today I'm sharing you the fool proof method which we have to fry the kollu and grind with other ingredients use for rasam. The best meal never completes without rasam. Also it ease the digestion after heavy meal.

I make this quite a lot of ways but this is my favorite and fool proof recipe. Don't allow to boil rasam, once the foam layer statred you get to know rasam will start to boil in seconds. That is the time you have to add seasoned and close it so that aroma remains inside.

Ingredients

Tomatoes – 1/2 chopped
Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
Tamarind Pulp – 2 tbsp
Garlic – 2 pods crushed
Water – 3 cups
Coriander Leaves a handful
Salt to taste

For Grinding

Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp
Green chilli - 1
Tomato - 1
Pepper - 8
Corrainder seeds - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 string

For Seasoning

Oil – 1 tbsp
Mustard Seeds, Urad dal - 1 tsp
Asafoetida – a pinch
Curry leaves – 1 string

Method

Take For Grinding ingredients in a blender and make it into a fine puree.
Take a bowl and add in the ground masala, tamarind pulp, turmeric, tomatoes chopped, crushed garlic, salt and water.
Add the mixture in sauce pan or manpanai, I prefer manpanai it tastes awesome.
Allow it to cook before boil time that is foam layer formation.
On other side, take small sauce pan. Heat oil, add in mustard once it splutters, add asafoetida and curry leaves. Saute for 10 sec.
Once the foam layer formed, add seasoning and close with lid. Switch off the flame.

Grind all ingredients

Crush 2 garlic pods

Put together in a bowl

Add turmeric

Allow to cook until foam layer

Once foam layer formed, immediately add seasoning

Add seasoning, close the lid and switch off the flame

Country chicken soup is very flavorful. This is an excellent way to clear your cold. Its very comforting to drink when you are not keeping well and very easy to digest too. I'm using mainly the chicken bones with little flesh. I have used a whole chicken for this recipe.

There are many ways to make soup. I used the pressure cooker method which is the easiest way to make chicken stock. The bones get completely cooked and all the flavors gets released into the soup. We must use turmeric which is antibiotic and salt for making this naatu kozhi rasam.

Ginger Garlic Paste - 2 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Fennel seeds - 1 tsp
Pepper powder 1 tbsp
Green chili - 4

Water – 3 cups
Coriander Leaves
Gingelly oil - 1 tbsp
Salt as per taste

Method

Pressure cook it for 3 whistles, on simmer mode for 5 mins, turn off the heat and let the cooker do natural pressure release.
