She further starts preparing the Rasam by taking a deep pan and putting some water, garlic, cloves, curry, leaves, tomatoes and turmeric powder. Then she lets the whole mixture cook for 10 minutes until the water starts coming to a slow boil. After that, she adds some tamarind water, 2.5 tsp of Rasam powder and salt to taste in the mixture.
Then she covers everything with a plate and leaves it to cook for another 10 minutes. By this time the vegetables become extremely soft. She then goes on to add some boiled toor dal mixed with water in the mixture. The Rasam then starts coming to a boil, and that's when she adds some fresh coriander leaves, ghee and mustard seeds along with asafoetida. That's how she prepares the Rasam in the Instagram reel. This is a very simple and easy-to-execute recipe that can be followed to make Rasam at home.
