How to make the Garlic and Pepper Rasam?
Step 1: Is to heat the pan and add the Tamarind pulp and the rasam powder and crushed garlic and chopped tomatoes and cook it for 1 to 2 minutes. If you feel the tomatoes are burning add little water, cover and cook.
Step 2: Add salt and water , leave it on low flame.
