    Title: Rasam (South Indian Style)
    Categories: Indian, Soup
    Yield: 4 Servings

    8 Whole black peppercorns;
    - up to 10
    2 Dried chiles
    1 Tomato; diced
    1 tb Ghee
    4 c Water
    1 ts Cumin seed; up to 2
    2 cl Garlic; up to 3, crushed
    8 Curry leaves
    1/4 ts Mustard seeds
    Tamarind paste
    Salt

    In about 2 cups of water combine the tamarind paste (if using raw
    tamarind, soak and squeeze an almond sized pulp in 1/2 cup of water),
    a few dried chiles, the tomato, garlic, and 4 curry leaves. Grind
    black peppers and cumin seeds together and add to the liquid. Bring
    to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Heat a skillet and fry the
    mustard seeds until they start to pop. Add one or more dried chiles
    and the remaining curry leaves. Saute until fragrant and add to rasam
    liquid. Add salt to taste. This should cook until the tomato is soft.
    More liquid can be added if mixture is a bit heavy. Serve in small
    cups. All ingredients are given in approximate measurements, so
    experiment a little!
