Notes
1.Add hing/asafoetida in tadka if preferred.
2.Adding rasam powder is totally optional but if one wishes to add, then go ahead as it gives good taste with rasam powder too but can be skipped if it is not available.
2.If the dal rasam is too tangy then balance it by adding very few sugar crystals to balance the tangy taste.
