Rasam rice is all about that perfect mix of rice and tur dal. Make sure to wash them thoroughly and let them soak for about 15 mins. This helps in getting that perfect texture.

For that tangy kick, soak tamarind in hot water. It's a small step, but it makes a huge difference in giving the dish that classic rasam flavour.

Traditionally, shallots are used but don't worry if you don't have them. Regular small onions work just as well!

To make sure your rice and lentils cook just right, use four times the amount of water. This way, everything soaks in all the flavours perfectly.

In a pressure cooker, heat up some oil and ghee. Toss in cumin, mustard seeds, curry leaves, & your shallots. Saute until fragrant, then add in your tomatoes and let them soften.

Next, mix in some red chilli powder, turmeric, salt, garam masala, and rasam powder. Give it a quick saute, then add in your soaked rice and dal.
