Mor Rasam (Buttermilk Rasam - Tamilian style)

 

          Mor Rasam is almost similar to Mor Kuzhambu, a yoghurt-coconut based gravy, most popular in Tamil Nadu. However, Mor Rasam is minus the coconut and vegetables. This is also the South Indian version of Kadhi. It is a very simple, easy to make and a yummy side dish, best relished with steamed rice. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this traditional buttermilk rasam.





Ingredients - 

  • 1 cup thick yoghurt
  • 1 cup water
  • salt to taste 
  • 1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped


To roast & grind - 

  • 1 tsp. cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp. whole black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp. Tuvar dal (pigeon pea lentil)
  • 1 tbsp. chana dal (Bengal gram lentil)
  • 3-4 dry red chilies

Tempering - 
  • 1 tbsp. oil
  • 1/2 tsp. mustard seeds
  • 2 red chilies
  • 1 sprig curry leaves 
  • 1/4 tsp. asafoetida






          Dry roast the ingredients mentioned and keep aside to cool. Then grind into a powder. 
    
          Beat the yoghurt, water, salt and turmeric powder till well blended. Now add the ground ingredients to the beaten yoghurt and give it a stir. 

           Transfer the yoghurt rasam to a pan and heat it gently on a low flame. Once it comes to a boil, switch off the flame and keep aside. 

          For the tempering - Heat oil in a pan. Temper with dry red chilies, mustard seeds, curry leaves and asafoetida. Sauté for a few seconds and pour it over the rasam. 

          Mix well and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve with hot steamed rice for a comforting meal.
