Drumsticks Rasam


This Rasam is one of our favourites.
This is a mild rasam goes well with rice and Toor dal.

Serves : 2
Preparation time : 20 - 30 mins

Ingredients :

Drumsticks : 3 cut into 2" pieces
Sesame seeds : 2 tsp
Coconut : 2 tsp
Green chillies : 2 or 3
Salt to taste
Rice flour : 2 tbsp approx.
Water : 2 cups
For tampering:
mustard seeds : 1/2 tsp
urad dal : 1/2 tsp
Jeera : 1/2 tsp
Garlic : 5-10 cloves

Method :
Cook Drumsticks with salt and water.
Take a pan . Add 1 tsp of oil to it.
Add ingredients listed for tampering one by one.
Add the boiled drum sticks with that water.
Parallelly, Grind Sesame seeds,coconut,green chili and salt with some water to a fine paste.
Add this paste to the pan.
Let the entire thing comes to boil.
Check for taste now.
Mix that rice flour with some water and make a smooth paste (Pouring consistency) of it.
Now add this rice flour mixture to the pan slowly by mixing rasam.
Check for consistency ( not too thick , not too thin)
And boil it for 5 mins.
Serve it with cooked toor dal and white rice (or) just with plain rice.

Traditionally they will make this with the thick supernatant water from overcooked rice ( Called as ganji in Telugu ) instead of water and rice flour combination.
