This is a basic, beginner recipe. No frills, no fancy, just a simple dal. Only, you don’t need 2 pots – one to cook the dal in, one to add the seasonings. It’s all one pot, turn it on, set the timer and forget it. When done, add tempering, and salt. Total comfort food, ready in about 25 mins (including pressure release time).
Rasam: Basic Recipe
The ultimate comfort food of South Indian cuisine. This is a tamarind/tomato based soupy dish, great by itself or with rice and a simple stir-fried vegetable. After days of feasting/travel, I always crave a simple rasam.
