Grind it along with raw garlic(1 0r 2 )and tamarind(optional- can use lemon juice/tomato instead)

Heat oil. splutter mustard, red chillies. Add asafoetida, turmeric. Add in the ground paste, salt, water(abt 200 ml) and let it come to the beginning of boil stage(or nuraichu varum stage). Switch off flame. If using lemon juice add it now.

Serve with rice.


Variation: (with tomato)
U can also use tomato instead of tamarind. In that case, mash the tomato and add it after tadka and let boil until raw smell goes off. Then add the paste.

Note:
Make this rasam a little hot(kaaram).
It is better to use lemon juice/tomato instead of tamarind whenever we cook greens as tamarind depletes the nutrients in the greens.

dev,

Thank u very much for the recipe! I will try in this week end.

I had spicy Boli from a bakery !! Anybody knows the filling used for that one? Pls post the recipe !!!

Suja, super menu... All the best!!!...:)

:)@ Suvai...

NM, have a wonderful trip... Indiala endha places ellam visit panna poreenga?...

karthika, try and let us know how u liked it...

Though this might sound like a simple,stupid recipe to many, I'm sure it would be useful for beginners in cooking...:)

Spicy french toast: Makes 5-6 toasts.

1. Beat 2 eggs along with salt, pepper powder and 2 tbsp of milk/water.
2. Add in finely chopped onions, green chllies(optional), coriander/curry leaves, tomato, capsicum. Adding these veggies are optional too.
3. Heat a tawa on low heat. Apply a good amount of oil on the tawa.
4. Now take a slice of bread and dip it in the batter quickly. Make sure to coat both sides.
5. Place it on the tawa immediately.
6. If u use veggies, spoon the veggies onto the bread(top) now coz the vegges won't stick to the bread when dipped in the egg mixture.
7. Once the underside is cooked and golden, turn the bread over and let the other side turn golden.
8. Though this step is optional, u can toast the bread in an oven for sometime(like 3-4 mins) and the toast will taste yummier...;)

Serve hot with tomato sauce and a cup of tea. :thumbsup:

Note: Make sure the heat is always on low or low- medium.
