Step 1
Pressure cook Horse gram/ Kollu, Turmeric, Tomato and oil – 1/2 tsp with 2 cups of water for 2 whistles and in low flame for 5 min. When the pressure is released filter the water. Use the water while grinding chutney and the rest can be used to make Rasam. Chop the onion. Dry the items listed under “To fry” section for 3 min in the given order. The onion should have the little raw smell to give the authentic touch.
