South Indian lentil soup

Rasam

Prepared South Indian dish/ingredient; no unit or spoon/piece conversion.

Nothing truly replaces rasam's peppery tamarind broth; diluted sambhar is closest.

• 
  South Indian lentil stew

  Use the same volume; dilute with water if it is thick. Heavier, thicker and more dal-heavy; adjust salt and tamarind.

• 
  Pepper water spice mixture

  Use 1 tsp per 200 ml water, simmer 5 minutes and strain. Makes a simple rasam-style broth; taste and add tamarind.

• 
  Tamarind extract

  Use 1 tbsp per 200 ml water with salt and pepper for a quick sour broth. It gives sourness only, not the full rasam spice.
