Wash the rice and toor dal. Finely chop the tomatoes. Extract tamarind juice using 4 cups of water. It will be thin only. In a pressure cooker, add the washed rice and toor dal, chopped tomatoes, tamarind extract, rasam powder, asafoetida, salt and turmeric powder. Mix well and pressure cook for 3-4 whistles. Simmer in the lowest flame for 10 minutes. Switch off the flame. Open the pressure cooker and mash the cooked rice mixture well using a ladle. In a pan add ghee and sesame oil and add in the mustard seeds. Once it splutters add the pepper jeera powder. I used home made fresh pepper jeera powder(molagu jeera podi) Using a mortar and pestle i pounded equal amount of pepper and cumin seeds into a coarse powder. Roast it for a minute in hot ghee and transfer it immediately to the rasam sadam. Sprinkle coriander and curry leaves to this. Mix well. Rasam sadam is ready to serve. Notes: You can puree the tomatoes and add too but i want to recreate the one i had in the wedding so added chopped tomatoes only. Adding little generous ghee and oil to the rasam sadam brings out a nice aroma to it. You can add few cloves of crushed garlic while adding the pepper jeera powder. Instead of rasam powder you can use sambar powder too.
