  • Boil the dal for 10 minutes. Remove from the pot and mash nicely. Add 2 cups of water to it. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces (You can also grind them. Prepare tamarind water by soaking the tamarind in 2 cups of water and squeezing with hand.

    Wow that's really cool! Your recipe is pretty darned authentic. But we call it dhal rasam over here. This is very good and I'm really pleased that Asian cuisine is getting more and more exposure and fans. Thanks for sharing.
