Ginger and Curry Leaf Rasam

Ingredients for Ginger and Curry Leaf Rasam

• 120ml dried red lentils, picked over, washed, and drained

• 1500ml water

• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

• 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 2 cucchiai di olio vegetale

• 10 fresh curry leaves

• 2 teaspoons black mustard seeds

• Pinch of asafetida

• One 3-inch-long piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped

• 1 medium tomato, finely chopped

• 1 (350g) can unsweetened coconut milk

• 1 tablespoon tamarind paste

• 1 cucchiaino di pepe nero macinato fresco

1. Place the lentils, 950ml water, turmeric, and salt in a large pot and cook over medium-high heat until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes, frequently skimming off any foam with a spoon.

2. In a heavy-bottom pot, heat the oil over medium heat and add the curry leaves, stirring until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove 4 leaves and reserve for the garnish. To the oil, add the mustard seeds, asafetida, ginger, and tomato and cook until the tomato begins to dry, about 3 minutes. Add the lentils, 550ml water, the coconut milk, tamarind, and black pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for another 3 minutes.

3. Season with salt and serve hot, garnished with the fried curry leaves.
