L for Lemon Rasam under regional recipes for BM #32. This has been in my to-do list for more than a decade. We finally got to enjoy this on a cold and rainy evening. 

This is a tried and tested recipe from 2-3 generations in our family.

Coriander leaves for garnish
Lemon juice 1-2 Tbsp (or as needed)
Seasoning (Ghee/Oil 2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Jeera 1/2 tsp, Asafoetida 1/4 tsp, Curry leaves few)

Lemon Rasam

Method Of Preparation -

In a heated pan, boil the tomato , toor dal, 3-4 cups of water, ginger and green chilies.

After it comes to a rolling boil, add turmeric, salt and sugar.

Adjust the flavors as needed.

Transfer this seasoning onto the rasam.
